St Brendan’s bid to halt Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne march
The Miltown meeting of Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne and St Brendan’s in the Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final was, in the eyes of most, a foregone conclusion — the Dingle school had never reached the decider, while the Killarney nursery eyed a third crown in four years.
Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne rocked the applecart in securing an emphatic 2-9 to 0-8 win and while their maiden final appearance ended in heartbreak, it would prove their last defeat in the competition until Pobalscoil Sliabh Luachra marked their card last October — four successive Corn Uí Mhuirí titles and back-to-back Hogan Cup crowns secured in the interim four-and-a-half years.
