Roco rise to last post at Páirc

St Francis College, Rochestown 2-14 Midleton CBS 1-08

St Francis College, Rochestown were relatively easy victors as they booked their place in next Wednesday’s O’Callaghan Cup final against Gaelcholáiste Mhuire. There have been more than a few curtain-calls for the venue but there will be no more encores and Cormack’s 65 with the final puck denied team-mate Diarmaid O’Mahony the honour of recording the last score.

It would, perhaps, have been fitting had Midleton CBS won, given they were playing in red and white, but Rochestown’s black was more in keeping with the notion of mourning. That said, it was in keeping with a good Irish funeral, as the good memories were called to mind.
