Sliabh Luachra stun Corca Dhuibhne

Pobalscoil Sliabh Luachra, Rathmore 4-12 Pobalscoil Chorcha Dhuibhne 2-9: Sliabh Luachra Rathmore caused a major upset in the opening round of this season’s Munster Colleges, Corn Ui Mhuiri Group C, with a comprehensive win over the Corn Uí Mhuirí winners of the last four years, Corca Dhuibhne.

In ideal conditions at the John Mitchels complex, Tralee, newcomers Rathmore showed scant regard for reputation, as they assumed control from the outset, and were full value for their win.

Corca Dhuibhne had two Kerry minors, Tom O’Sullivan and Conor Geaney along with Mikey Boyle, Peadar Pol Sauerland, Sean Ó Bambaire and Ryan Manning from last year’s all-conquering squad, but they are obviously a side in transition.
