High School Clonmel manager points to ‘rising tide lifting all boats’

CBS HS Clonmel (Tipperary) 1-10 St Francis College, Rochestown (Cork) 0-7: Football in Clonmel is enjoying something of a golden age, and the prospect of a dream-like spring remains a reality after Saturday’s Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final in Fermoy.

Next weekend, Clonmel Commercials will seek to qualify for the All-Ireland Club SFC final when they take on Ballyboden St Enda’s. Here, CBS HS Clonmel booked their place in the final of premier Munster PPS football competition as they benefited from building a sizeable first-half lead.

Manager Tony Gleeson highlighted the ‘rising tide lifting all boats’ effect, in both Clonmel and Tipperary.
