CORN DHÚN LÓICH FAOI 16½: ‘Well done’ to The Green CBS on a great 0-3 victory over Coláiste Bhréanainn in the semi-final of the Dunloe Cup (Kerry) Competition…1-20 to 3-11. A mighty win! The Tralee lads were 0-3 up after 10 minutes; Seán Quilter and Fearghal Ó Briain were among the scorers. The Green boys added a further 0-7 before half time. Scór leathama: 0-11 (CBS) to 1-5.
The crucial score of the game came in the 2nd half when the marauding Seán Quilter soloed from lár na páirce and landed the leather in the top corner of the Sem net. That put the Blue‘n’Gold brigade into an 0-6 lead which they held until the 59th minute of the encounter.
Eoghan Carroll was part of a rock solid half back line. Further upfield, Fearghal Ó Briain and Conchúr Ó Mír were in top form. A late shot beat an outstanding David Oba to embellished the scoreboard for a disappointing Killarney outfit.
The Green now look forward to a Dunloe Cup final on December 14th and a potential mouth-watering all-Tralee showdown with Mounthawk who’ll face Coláiste Phádraig Oileán Ciarraí in the other semi-final this Friday (9th).
The Rock boys on the CBS panel: David Oba, Eoghan Carroll, Seán Quilter, Daniel O’Rourke, Conor Myers, Fearghal Ó Briain, David Couchman, Dean Scanlan. The Rock boys on the Mercy Mounthawk panel: Pádraic Linnane, Donagh McMahon, Dara Barry-Walsh, Michael O’Gara, Leon Shalamba, Craig Ó Tíocháin.
