Coláiste Choilm’s cup joy

Simcox Cup final

Leading 1-8 to 0-8 at half-time after inspirational captain Ronan O’Toole’s goal in the 30th minute, Coláiste Choilm — who play at B level in Munster, while Macroom are in the Corn Uí Mhuirí — buttressed their advantage as his midfield partner Aaron O’Raw sent a low shot home in the 33rd minute.

Macroom points from the excellent Cian Healy and Joseph Ryan had kept them in touch, but the killer blow came on 36 minutes. Corner-forward Cian Kiely profited from a great O’Toole pass to create space and then converted to leave his side 3-8 to 0-10 in front.
