Lively Sliabh Luachra serve notice of Corn Uí Mhuirí intentions

Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra 2-12 Coláíste Chríost Rí 0-8: The Munster and All-Ireland champions comfortably defeated on the opening afternoon, and now the scalp taken of Cork’s most successful football nursery.

For Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra, competing in the Corn Uí Mhuirí for the first time, these have been a remarkable few weeks.

With nine points to spare over four-in-a-row champions Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne at the end of last month, the Rathmore college put one foot in the quarter-finals yesterday with a 10-point win over Coláíste Chríost Rí.
