Battling Rathmore rally to claim Munster title

SPSL, Rathmore 2-6 Abbey CBS, Tipperary 0-8: They did it the hard way. Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra Rathmore were six points to one behind after 20 minutes and they also kicked 15 wides over the hour.

But, they persevered, and the big cheer that greeted the final whistle in Mallow yesterday, was in celebration of their first Munster Post Primary School’s U16½ B football title (Corn Liam Uí hUiginn).

After a fantastic start during which four different players got on the scoreboard, including two super efforts from midfielder Josh Ryan, Abbey CBS moved 0-6 to 0-1 ahead.
