St Brendan’s Park in Birr hosted today’s semi-final double-header.
THE 2023 CROKE Cup final will be a repeat of the 2018 and 2019 deciders where St. Kieran’s College overcame Presentation Athenry sides chasing their maiden victory in this competition.
Inside forwards Bobby Power and Ronan Connolly quickly hit the ground running in the opening contest, as Connolly’s catch and finish after eight minutes helped push Cashel 1-4 to 0-1 in front.In the blink of an eye, the lead was almost completely eradicated however, as Pádraig Naddy and Ted Dunne fired points either side of a gorgeous instinctive one-handed flick from Donagh Murphy for the opening St. Kieran’s goal.
As they had done in the first half, Cashel came out of the blocks strongly after half-time, and while they missed three good scoring chances, a point from Power was the only score in the first 12 minutes, before the same player pounced on a breaking ball to fire in a goal.
