Five-goal Skibbereen run riot
With Group D further ahead than the other three, yesterday was the final round of games and, having lost to Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne and St Flannan’s College, Skibb needed at least a two-point win and a victory for the Dingle school against their Ennis opponents. The first objective was achieved, but unfortunately for Skibb, Flanan’s won to render the outcome moot.
Nevertheless, they can take heart from the performance, considering they went into the game knowing that a win was mandatory. Aided by the wind, they hit the ground running as a point from Seán Minihane, effective at midfield, was followed by Ryan Foley’s goal after Peter O’Driscoll’s delivery had evaded the Sliabh Luachra full-back line. When Rory Byrne and Seán Fitzgerald added further points, they were 1-3 to 0-0 ahead.
