Sharp Clonakilty gain revenge on Sem with statement win in Corn Uí Mhuirí opener

This was no smash-and-grab victory by Clonakilty. The Cork side were simply hungrier and more efficient than their Kerry opponents.

Corn Uí Mhuirí: Clonakilty Community College 0-15 (0-2-11) St Brendan’s College Killarney 0-11 (0-1-9) 

There was a moment, somewhere between their fourth second half miss and 12th minute without a score, when you could almost feel it shift – the sense that this wasn’t going to be the Sem’s afternoon.
