“The Kerry Messi”

Conway’s talent would have been lost above in Castletroy.

Eddies an old school mate nearing retirement id say

Basically a Wexford side v UCC

A man I feel very sorry for in all of this is Billy McCarthy of Thurles Sars.

Would have been a key player on this journey for College had it not been for such a bad injury.

I believe he barely played 30 minutes of Fitzgibbon cup hurling in 5 years. A terrible pity.

And I leave you with John Grainger, the Godfather of modern day UCC GAA and his old friend Edwin Fitzgibbon. I make that 10 Fitzgibbon Cups that JG has been involved in.

Another great year for all Collegians and I look forward to talking to you all again in 2021 when we go in search of the three in a row.

They’ll need an army to take that cup off JG and TK.

The posh boys beat SKC . If CBC win the Harty the gentrification of hurling with take a further big step

Colaiste Eoin wouldn’t be overly posh. Great achievement for a relatively small school

I’m delighted for them. One of the few second level schools in dublin that put a serious effort into hurling.
