New territory but Youghal’s Pobalscoil up for big test

Today’s Dr Harty Cup quarter-final clash with Castletroy College in Cahir marks new territory for Youghal’s Pobalscoil na Tríonóide.

Having opened in 2006 after the merging of the town’s other establishments – Youghal CBS, Coláiste Eoin and Loreto Convent – the community school has had brief spells in Munster’s premier hurling competition, without reaching the latter stages.

Backboned by the Munster U16½B and Cork U16B winning sides of 2012-13, this year they have made an impact. Manager Brian Lotty admits circumstances dictate the playing of a long game in the search for success.
