Rampant Rochestown march on

St Francis College, Rochestown 5-18 Blackwater CS 1-13

In the end, it was fairly straightforward for Rochestown’s St Francis College as they booked the final Dr Harty Cup quarter-final place by beating Blackwater CS in Fermoy yesterday.

Knowing a win or a draw would be enough to take the second spot in Group 2 behind winners Dungarvan CBS, Rochestown must have had some fears after losing out in not-dissimilar circumstances in the Corn Uí Mhuirí last week. As it turned out, they need not have worried as they dealt with the task in a calm and composed manner dashing Midleton CBS’s chances in the process.
