David Burke hails character as Brigid’s crack Colman’s in Croke Cup

St Brigid’s, Loughrea (Galway) 0-19 - St Colman’s, Fermoy (Cork) 1-13: David Burke hailed the character of his St Brigid’s team after watching the Connacht champions come from five points down to book a place in the All-Ireland Post-Primary Schools senior hurling A semi-finals.

Galway senior captain Burke is helping to guide the fortunes of St Brigid’s, who were 0-8 to 1-10 down shortly after half-time against Harty Cup runners-up St Colman’s, Fermoy, yesterday.

However, from there until the finish, Loughrea-based St Brigid’s were inspired, outscoring their opponents by 0-11 to 0-3, and setting up a weekend Croke Cup semi-final with holders and competition specialists St Kieran’s.
