Leahy points to ‘seminal’moment

Though originally from Cloughduv in Cork, Mike Leahy is now undeniably a St Brendan’s man, having taught in the Killarney college for 30 years.

In his time there, the school has won seven Corn Uí Mhuirí (Munster Colleges SAFC) titles and today, ‘The Sem’ face Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne at Fitzgerald Stadium (4pm), seeking a record 21st crown.

Leahy has seen famines as well as feasts, however, which means that success is never taken for granted in the famed football nursery.
