Stephen Condon paves the way for St Colman’s College

St Colman’s College, Fermoy 2-12 CBC Cork 0-11: St Colman’s College overcame the brave challenge of CBC in the Dr Harty Cup in Mallow yesterday to book their spot in the semi-final against Ardscoil Rís.

Testing conditions made life difficult, but once the Fermoy college gained a foothold through Kyle Cronin’s first-half goal, they pushed on after Stephen Condon’s green flag at the three-quarter juncture.

Condon contributed 1-6 — his goal crucial — leaving St Colman’s as Cork’s sole representation in the last four. But victory came with a price as midfielder Shane O’Connor was one of three players red-carded with seven minutes remaining after a melee broke out. Christians’ Robert Downey and Sean Dolan were also dismissed by referee Nathan Wall following consultation with his umpires.
