Michael John Shine stars as Scoil Mhuire gan Smál Blarney claim Munster crown

Scoil Mhuire gan Smál Blarney 2-12 Coachford College 0-11: A first Munster Post Primary School’s hurling title for Scoil Mhuire gan Smál Blarney as they claimed victory over fellow Cork school Coachford College in the Corn Risteard Uí Mhathúna (U18½ CHC final) in Carrigaline yesterday.

Goals in either half from Michael John Shine and David O’Donovan proved vital, but overall they were always that step ahead.

Selector Sean Downey, who manned the sideline along with Cork senior hurler Stephen Moylan, St John Cremin and Declan O’Connell, hopes the side can continue their good form outside the province.
