Boherbue face Killaloe in Colleges Final

GAMES don’t come any bigger for Boherbue Comprehensive School than contesting a provincial decider when they face up to St. Anne, Killaloe in the Munster Colleges Senior CFC Final at Ballyagran on Saturday.

A titanic battle for supremacy promises to unfold, two good football teams on duty, a game above the ordinary is guaranteed between eager sides. The Duhallow side can take plenty of encouragement enroute to this final, easily overcoming Sexton Street, Limerick and Kilrush. And Boherbue climbed a notch to better Scoil Mhuire, Newcastlewest before accounting for St. Colmans of Midleton in the semi final.

This Boherbue side come with strong credentials from a side including brothers CJ and Jerry O’Sullivan, Seán Meehan, Maurice Casey and Daire Moynihan.

Opponents from Killaloe have offered plenty of grit through the campaign, seeing off Salesian Secondary School, Pallaskenry and Coláiste Croabhinn, Fermoy. And in the semi final, Killaloe were asked serious questions only to dig deep and claim a single point win over Coláiste na Trocaire, Rathkeale.
