Classy Corca Dhuibhne connect four

Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne 1-10 St Francis College, Rochestown 0-10

Ciarán Ó Móráin reckons there is little more than 200 boys attending Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne, with the Corn Uí Mhuirí team picking from the senior classes — a catchment of no more than 70 boys. Their panel runs to 33 and not one student more, according to their manager, is interested in donning the red and white shirt. Their starting XV comprises of players from just two clubs — Dingle and An Ghaeltacht — further highlighting their limited pick.

Yesterday, Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne become only the second football nursery to annex the Corn Uí Mhúirí crown four years on the hop. It was a feat achieved with equal measure of gumption and panache.
