St Brendan’s on guard as Clonmel lie in wait

There’s no sugar-coating by Gary McGrath. What’s the point? The results speak for themselves.

St Brendan’s College go in search of a first Corn Uí Mhuirí crown in six years this afternoon and truth be told, the Killarney nursery has waltzed into the decider.

Of the five hurdles negotiated en-route to the final, the smallest winning margin enjoyed by McGrath’s students was the 10 points they had to spare over St Flannan’s in their second group game. Their average winning margin, meanwhile, stands at 14 points; four-in-a-row champions Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne were hammered 1-14 to 0-4 in the quarter-final, with St Flannan’s put away for a second time by 2-14 to 0-5 in a most one-sided semi-final.
