Fachtna’s chance to make final mark

Manager Colman O’Driscoll acknowledges the curtain is slowly falling on St Fachtna’s bid for a fourth Corn Uí Mhuirí crown.

Twenty three years have elapsed since the West Cork nursery last annexed the holy grail of Munster colleges football and with the proposed Skibbereen community school set to open its doors in 2016, incorporating St Fachtna’s, Rossa College and Mercy Heights, the sandglass is quickly running low on efforts to add to the trophy cabinet.

Keenly aware the final chapter in the school’s history is theirs to write, O’Driscoll said his players are hugely determined to end on a positive note.
