Summerhill College College, Sligo 2-11 St. Brendan’s College, Killarney 1-11 Kevin Egan reports from Tuam Stadium
It was a game that Summerhill controlled, but then completely lost their way, to the point that when Darren Ryan edged the Corn Uí Mhuirí champions in front with 50 minutes on the clock, a sixth point in a row for ‘The Sem’, they looked like the nailed on winners. The potency of the Killarney school’s inside forward line was on full view in the early stages when Alex Hennigan rolled in a goal through heavy traffic while Luke Crowley kicked an excellent point to make it 1-1 to a single point, but Summerhill also had plenty of quality in defence, and gradually players like Ronan O’Hehir, Rian O’Callaghan and James Donlon began to exert themselves.
Crowley and Niland traded points immediately after the break but from then on, St. Brendan’s took complete control, lording proceedings for over 20 minutes. John Kelleher was the star of the show at midfield, picking off a host of superb catches, while Darren Ryan and Charlie Keating also came into the game in the middle third, putting huge pressure on the Summerhill kickout.
