Great Win for Clonmel High School

Corn Ui Mhuiri Munster Colleges Senior A Football Quarter-Final:

Clonmel High School 1-11; Colaiste Choilm, Ballincollig 1-08

The Corn Ui Mhuiri quarter final, played at the Waterford Institute of Technology All-Weather ground in Carriganore, resulted in a great win for Clonmel High School. No other Tipperary school has advanced so far in this competition for many decades and every true Tipperary Gael will wish them further success. Clonmel High School are in fact the only Tipperary winners of this competition which was achieved in 1928 — the second occasion on which it took place. A number of players from that team were members of successful Tipperary football teams in the early 1930's, including the 1935 senior football team who were beaten in the All-Ireland Semi-final as a result of a controversial last-second goal by eventual All-Ireland winners Cavan.
