Students from St Brendan’s College Killarney are looking forward to an All-Ireland football semi-final after winning the Munster title in Tralee on Wednesday.
The school’s under 16.5 team captured the coveted Frewen Cup after defeating CBS The Green Tralee in Austin Stack Park.
This week’s success made up for Saturday’s defeat in the senior Corn Uí Mhuirí when the local school lost out to their Tralee rivals.
Wednesday’s success was all the sweeter as Tralee fielded several of their senior cup winning side in an effort to inflict a double blow to their Killarney rivals.
There were several star-performances from members of the St Brendan’s team including Liam Randles who scored the opening goal of the match after six minutes.
The team was trained by teachers Kevin Cronin and Vince Cooper.
“There were celebrations for a while but it is time to knuckle down again and prepare for the All-Ireland semi-final,” Mr Cronin told the Killarney Advertiser.
St Brendan’s will learn who their semi-final opponents are later today (Friday). They will face the winner of the Connacht championship. St Gerald's College Castlebar and Claregalway College were due to meet at the Connacht GAA Centre earlier today. The semi-final will be played on March 7 at a venue yet to be announced.
