Friday 11th April 2008
St Colman’s 1-8
St Flannan’s 1-7
Our U15 hurlers had a great win over
St. Flannan's on Friday last, when a last minute goal by Colm Ahern
ensured victory. It was an exciting ending that could have
seen St. Flannan's take the title but scores from Patrick Roche,
Colm Ahern and Eoin Maye made sure that the White Cup would be going
home to Fermoy.

Draw for St Colman’s
in Harty Quarter Final
St Colman’s College
0-13 v Nenagh 2-7
The St Colman’s senior hurling team
travelled to New Inn on Wednesday 25th January for the
Quarter Final of the Dr Harty Cup. The opposition was Nenagh. Weather
conditions were very good, however the pitch was in very in bad
condition as it was soft full of divot holes. This made hurling very
difficult for both teams.
The game was a close tough contest
from the start. St Colman’s had a lead of four points to two at the
end of the first ten minutes. A missed free straight in front of the
Colman’s goal led to a soft goal. The Nenagh boys now raised their
game and a well taken goal came for them just before half time. They
now led by 2-3 to 0-7 at the break.
Nenagh opened the scoring in the
second half and Adrian Mannix followed with a point from a free. At
the end of ten minutes Nenagh had increased their lead to four points.
Adrian Mannix pulled back three
points, two from frees. Going into the final minutes of the game only
two points separated the sides. St Colman’s now had all the play but
chance after chance was wasted as our lads tried to score a goal. In
the twenty ninth minute an Adrian Mannix point from a free brought us
within a point of Nenagh. The last puck of the game, a free, was put
over the bar by Mannix and so St Colman’s got another chance.
St Colman’s were lucky to get the
draw in the end. They played very badly in the first half and while
they did much better in the second half they still wasted a lot of
chances. The replay is on this Wednesday at Claughán in Limerick. To
win here St Colman’s will have play much better.

Great win for St
Colman’s U13s in Star First Year Cup
St
Colman’s College, Fermoy 4
Colaiste
Mhuire 3
The St Colman’s U13 soccer team
travelled to Cobh to play Colaiste Mhuire in what proved to be a very
entertaining game. This was St Colman’s second game of the Star
First Year Cup.
Colaiste Mhuire started well and five
minutes into the game their number eight scored from well out the
field. This score seemed to spark the Fermoy boys into action and soon
after matt Condon scored a superb goal by lobbing the goalie from
outside the box.
St Colman’s were now dominating the
game and a great solo effort by Michael Spillane almost resulted in St
Colman’s taking the lead. Just before half time Brian Hogan made a
great save to keep the sides level.
The second half started well for
Colman’s with the midfield and front men making powerful runs at
Coláiste Mhuire’s defence. Our backs, Chris, Nathan, Darragh, and
Pádraig were well in control and handled everything that Colaiste
Mhuire was throwing at them.
The great effort put in by St Colman’s
was rewarded when Michael Pyne headed a Michael Spillane free kick
into the net. Five minutes later a perfectly weighted ball from Brian
Carroll sent Michael Pyne through the opposition defence to score his
second goal of the day.
St Colman’s were now looking to
press home their 3 – 1 advantage but excellent play by the Cobh
number eleven brought them right back into the game and St Colman’s
were now hanging on by a single goal margin.
With only two minutes left the Cobh
number eleven pounced on a loose ball and scored to secure what looked
like a certain draw. However the valiant St Colman’s were not to be
denied victory and within one minute of the final whistle Dean Cronin
popped up in their box to score a fine goal after some great play from
Conor Kearney on the wing.
Great credit is due to both teams for
providing such an entertaining game. Man of the match for St Colman’s
was Darragh O’Carroll.

Clear win for St
Colman’s U14 Hurlers.
U14 Cork Colleges
‘A’ Hurling Championship.
St Colman’s 5-7 v
Colaiste Spioraid Naoimh 0-7
The U14 hurling team played Colaiste
Spioraid Naoimh in the Cork Colleges ‘A’ Championship at home on
Tuesday 29th November. The weather was wet and muggy.
The two sides seemed to start on an
equal footing. But as the game progressed St Colman’s began to
dominate play. Three points from Will Condon and a goal each from Sean
Shanahan and James McCarthy gave St Colman’s a good lead at half
time. The score at tat point was 203 to 0-3.
Spioraid Naoimh came out fighting for
the second half. They got a lot of possession but were unable to
capitalise on it. St Colman’s eventually got on top again and three
goals added to their total by Sean Finn and Will O’Donoghue meant
that the result was well and truly settled in favour of the Fermoy
boys. Ronan Fenton and Michael Spillane also scored points.
The St Colman’s team were well
worth the victory being by far the better side.

St Colman’s win a
place in Callaghan Cup Final
St Colman’s
College 0-8 v Glanmire CC 0-7
St Colman’s and Glanmire CC
returned to Ballynoe on Monday 29th November to play the semi-final of
the Cork Colleges Senior ‘A’ hurling championship. The pitch was
again in excellent condition. There was a strong wind blowing straight
down the length of the pitch and this favoured the Glanmire team in
the first half.
This was a very keenly contested game
from start to finish. Playing against the wind in the first half St
Colman’s found it difficult to move the ball from puck outs that
were falling short of the 65-metre line into the Glanmire half. Any
attacks that were mounted ended without scoring for most of the first
half. Meanwhile Glanmire were more successful scoring a total of five
points and led by three points at half time.
The Fermoy side played better in the
second half and by the 15th minute had drawn level. Shane
Cotter’s point in the twenty-fourth minute put us in the lead.
Shortly after Glanmire got a point to level the game again going into
injury time. Mark O’Callaghan had the distinction of scoring the
winning point of the game.
In spite of struggling for most of
the game and especially in the first half credit for keeping in touch
and being in a position to win the game must go to the defence who
worked hard to limit the damage during the first twenty eight minutes
of the game.
Overall though the team still has a
lot to do to be real contenders for the Harty title.

St Colman’s win a
Dr. Harty Quarter Final place
St Colman’s
College 2-11 v Glanmire CC 0-9
St Colman’s played Glanmire CC in
this Harty cup game at Ballynoe on Wednesday 23rd November. The pitch
was in excellent condition. There was a very light breeze and this
favoured the Glanmire in the first half.
The first half was a tough encounter
with both sides conceding a lot of frees. Both sets of backs defended
well and scores were hard to come by. St Colman’s led by the
narrowest of margins at half time, 0-5 to 0-4.
Glanmire opened the scoring in the
second half with a point in the fourth minute. A mere two minutes
later St Colman’s were on the attack and Fergal Ryan’s shot at
goal was saved but a vigilant Mark O’Callaghan was on hand to put
the ball to the back of the net. This gave the Fermoy side the edge in
the game, which they held on to and Mark’s second goal ten minutes
from the end made a come back by the Glanmire side very unlikely. The
final margin was eight points.
This win books a place for St Colman’s
in the Quarter final late in January.
The next game will be against Cashel
CS and is fixed for Wednesday 7th December.

St
Colman’s College, Fermoy 3
Nagle
Community College, Mahon. 6
The St Colman’s U13 soccer team
played Nagle C.C., Mahon at home on Monday 14th November.
Just five minutes into the game the Fermoy side was awarded a penalty
but David Pyne filed to find the net, however very shortly afterwards
he struck a superb shot from outfield and this time the ball did end
up in the net. Michael Pyne increased the lead to 2-0 when he scored
with a classy flick from a corner.
Having dominated for most of the
first half St Colman’s found themselves up against a Mahon side that
was beginning to come more into the game as the interval approached.
Their reward was a goal that left the score at 2-1 at half time.
St Colman’s started the second half
well with Stephen Forde and Bryan Carroll linking up well. However
Nagle CC continued the fight back started late in the first half and
were becoming the dominant team. The game was completely turned around
when St Colman’s conceded four goals in the space of ten minutes.
St Colman’s battled on and Stephen
Forde pulled back one to reduce the deficit to 5-3. In spite of trying
very hard they failed to get the 4th and 5th
goals and concede another goal to leave the final score at 3-6.
In spite of the margin the side
battled hard and the result was disappointing. Great credit must go to
Nathan Byrne who put in a man of the match performance.

St Colman’s win
second Harty game against North Mon
St Colman’s
College 2-15 v St Flannan’s 0-6
St Colman’s played the second game
of this year’s Harty cup campaign against the North Mon at Ballynoe
on Friday 11th November. The pitch was in excellent
condition. There was a strong wind blowing diagonally across the pitch
and this favoured the Mon in the first half.
While the Mon opened the scoring with
a point from a free in the second minute, St Colman’s dominated play
right through the first half, and it wasn’t until the twenty-seventh
that the City side scored again. The score at half time was 1-8 to
0-2.
On top in every position St Colman’s
went on to increase the lead in the second half and at the end of the
hour had a total of 2-15 to 0-6.
This was great display on the part of
the whole team. Jason Condon was well in control in goals and made a
fine save when the Mon were awarded a penalty. All six defenders were
well on top of their game. Kenneth in the number six jersey and doing
the duty of captain, in the absence of Adrian Mannix, for the game
showed leadership in way he played. Leo Sexton and Shane Cotter at
midfield were again on top as in the game against St Flannan’s. All
six of the forwards and Brian O’Sullivan who came on scored.
The next game will be against
Glanmire Community School and is fixed for Wednesday 23rd
November.

St Colman’s
defeat St Flannan’s in first game of Harty
St Colman’s
College 2-15 v St Flannan’s 2-14
Not many gave St Colman’s a chance
of beating St Flannan’s in this encounter which was played in
excellent conditions at Feenagh on Wednesday 12th October.
St Flannan’s were entering the fray with a team that had a large
proportion of last year’s winning side and they were physically the
stronger side.
The Fermoy school got off to a good
start and had a lead of 1-4 to no score at the end of the first
quarter. In the second quarter St Flannan’s began to get into the
action and with five minutes to go in the half had reduced the lead to
two points. At half time the tally was 1-8 to 1-5, an advantage of
three points to St Colman’s.
St Flannan’s opened the scoring in
the second half with a point from a free in the second minute. St
Colman’s answered with a goal within a matter of minutes. By the end
of the third quarter St Colman’s had stretched the lead to eight
points.
St Flannan’s fought back and
secured their second goal very early in the last quarter and followed
with two pointed frees which brought the lead back to a goal.
Defensive errors on the part of Ennis side’s defence gave Adrian
Mannix the opportunity to score three more points from frees. Five
minutes to go and St Colman’s seemed to be in the driving seat.
However the St Flannan’s forwards piled on the pressure and after
putting over four points reduced the Fermoy lead to a minimum when the
final whistle went.
This was an excellent performance
from a Colman’s side which had as many as eleven players playing
their first game at Harty level. Jason Condon in goal had an excellent
game and caught and cleared a lot of ball, his long clearance and puck
outs had an important bearing on the outcome of the game. All six of
the defence played well with Ken Kearney in the centre back position
being very effective.
At mid field the partnership of Shane
Cotter and Leo Sexton worked very well and both played excellent
games. Shane Kearney at wing forward was very much on top of the game
and added three points to the score. Eoin Barry in the centre was
playing a very well but had to leave the field due to injury near the
end of the first half. Luke McCarthy on the right wing also played
well.
Michael Collins and Aidan Condon
starting in the corners did very well. Aidan Condon’s goal early in
the second half was due to his vigilance at the edge of the square. He
tipped a ball that had been saved by the goalkeeper into the net. This
was a very important score.
Adrian Mannix at full forward had
dream game. His free taking was a hundred per cent accurate. His first
touch and control in play was excellent.
This was a great win and St Colman’s
now play the North Mon in their second game of the group stage of the
competition.

St Colman’s register first
win of the year in Callaghan Cup
St Colman’s 2 – 17 v Colaiste
Chriost Rí 2 – 10
St Colman’s had the first
Championship game of the year on Wednesday 21st Sept. This
game was against Col Chriost Rí in the Cork Colleges Senior ‘A’
hurling championship for the Dr O’Callaghan Cup. It was played at
Watergrasshill in good conditions.
From the throw in this was a tough
closely contested game. Very early in the game St Colman’s conceded a
goal. During the first twenty minutes we only managed to score only one
point from play, Shane Kearney being the scorer here. However the free
taking accuracy of Adrian Mannix gave us a lead of five points to one
goal.
The Chriost Rí players contested every
ball and in spite of sending the ball wide ten times in the course of
the first period had a lead of one point at half time, 0-8 to 1-6.
For the first ten minutes of the second
half the sides exchanged points and in the eleventh minute Adrian Mannix
put St Colman’s into the lead with a well taken point. The Fermoy side
went on to dominate play and never lost the lead after this. The final
margin was seven points.
The St Colman’s defence was very
effective with Liam Forde and Jeremiah Aherne playing very well. Ken
Kearney did very well as centre back. Shane cotter and Leo Sexton
dominated at centre field. Eoin Barry did well at centre forward, as did
James Barry and Shane Kearney on the wings. Michael Collins in the
corner took his chances. A score of 1-12, 1-6 of which were from frees,
by Adrian Mannix tells its own story. Overall aver good performance by
the whole team. Well done.

St Colman’s complete
the U14 ‘A’ hurling and football double.
St Colman’s Fermoy 2-8
v Midleton CBS 1-7.
The St Colman’s U14 hurling team won
the final of the ‘A’ Championship at Ballynoe on Wednesday 25th
May. This win meant that they are now champions in both hurling and
football as they had already won the football final some weeks ago.
The game was played at Ballynoe.
There was a strong wind and the Fermoy side played against it for the
first half. We had a very good start as David Pyne found the net in the
fifth minute. James Roche added two points to this before Midleton got
on the scoreboard with a point in the eleventh minute. The next ten
minutes saw the two sides compete with neither side gaining enough
advantage to score. However it was Midleton who broke the deadlock and
during the last five minutes of ordinary time put the ball over the bar
four times, three of them from frees, to level the score. A pointed free
taken by James Roche during added on time gave us a point advantage at
half time.
Brian Mulcahy opened the scoring in the
second half and David Pyne followed soon afterwards with his second
goal. Midleton answered with a point followed by a goal and this brought
our lead to a minimum. However from here on the game went very much our
way with James Roche, Brian Mulcahy and Darren Tobin scoring a point
each in quick succession. This gave us a good lead which we defended
well over the last ten minutes of the game.
This was very good win and came very
much from team effort. Ed Aherne in goals had an excellent game and
showed great skill and courage. The full back line with Brian Condon in
full and Austin O’Hara and Stephen O’Brien in the corners didn’t
put afoot wrong. The half back line was very strong. Kevin O’Brien and
Tommy Sheehan on the wings played very well. James Roche was an
excellent centre back and also had a hundred percent success rare in the
free taking. At centre field Sean Finn and Anthony Cronin dominated the
game. Mark Flynn was very effective at centre forward as were Brian
Mulcahy and Liam Whelan on the wings. The full forward line, made up of
Darren Tobin, David Pyne and Will Condon was not found wanting. The two
goals scored by David Pyne were important to the final outcome.
This has been a great year for this U14
group and winning both competitions has been a great achievement. Both
Fergal Lyons and Andrew O’Sullivan did an excellent job throughout the
year with the two teams. Congratulations to the entire panel and the
trainers.

St Colman’s win U14
Football title.
U14 Cork Colleges
Football
St Colman’s 1-8 v Colaiste Spioraid
Naoimh, Bishopstown 0-4
The U14 football team played Colaiste
Spioraid Naoimh Bishopstown in the Cork Colleges ‘A’ Championship
final on Friday 22nd April. The game was played at St Vincent’s
Cork. Weather conditions were very bad with a strong wind and rain for
the full duration of the game.
St Colman’s had the advantage of the
wind in the first half and made hard work of taking full advantage of
it. An early goal turned out to be an important factor in winning the
game finally. It meant that they had fairly good lead right through the
first half and going into the second half when they could expect a lot
of pressure from a Bishopstown side that overall was physically
stronger. When the city lads did get into attacking positions our
defence was equal to the challenge and held the to two points in the
first half.
The second half was very competitive as
both sides valiantly struggled to overcome the adverse conditions there
being no let up in the wind and rain. Still the Fermoy boys not only
held on to the lead but also eventually stretched it to seven points,
and this was the final margin.
Al fifteen players contributed to this
victory. On the day they played much better football than the
opposition. They shoed great spirit and certainly deseved the win. In
goals Johnny Magner was excellent. Al three in the full back line, Conor
Healy, James Roche and Stephen Roche kept the Bishopstown forwards very
much in check. At centre back Mark Flynn, captain, provided great
leadership. He was ably assisted by Tommy Sheehan and Liam Whelan. St
Colman’s were particularly strong at midfield with Sean Finn and
Anthony Cronin in full control. St Colman’s were also very strong on
the half forward line. Davis Pyne was in the centre and John Hurley and
Brian Mulcahy were on the wings. Darren Tobin played valiantly in the
corner and was the scorer of three of Colman’s points. The Condon
brothers in the full and left corner positions also played their part.
The player who perhaps madde the biggest contribution to this victory
was Sean Finn. He played to a very high standard from the beginning to
the end. He provided not only leadership but inspiration to the whole
team.
This was a great win. Well done to Mr
Fergal Lyons and Mr Andrew O’Sullivan who such a good job in preparing
the team for this great win.
This group of players have another
final to play. In hurling they have also qualified for the final and
will meet Midleton.

St Colman’s 4 v Douglas CS 0
On Friday 15th April the U16
team played Douglas CS in the quarter final of the Cork Cup. St Colman’s
started this game well and were solid right through the field. Thomas
Noonan was having a good game at midfield. In defence Shane Hannon
playing his first game was very solid. Mid way through the first St
Colman’s went ahead and at half time the Score was three nil.
The second half saw Douglas working
hard to get into the game and were rewarded when they finally penetrated
our defence and clawed one goal back. They continued to put on the
pressure but our defence held out. Adrian Mannix made victory certain by
scoring the fourth goal.

St Colman’s win final
of Cork Colleges Senior ‘B’ Football Championship
St Colman’s College
1-8 v Rosscarbery 0-10
On Tuesday 5th April the St
Colman’s senior football team travelled to Coachford to play
Rosscarbery in the final of the Cork Colleges Senior ‘B’ football
Championship for the Corn Mhic Gabhainn.
St Colman’s played the first half
with the wind, which was quite strong. Colm O’Keeffe opened the
scoring with a well taken point in the first minute. Sean Beecher
followed this with a beautiful goal only a minute later. Alan O’Connor
set him up for this score.
However we made hard work of keeping
the ball in the opposition’s half of the field for the rest of this
half. Rosscarbery made plenty of chances to get scores but our backs
were very effective in preventing them scoring and all they had to show
at the end of the first half was one point from play but they also had
eight wides. The score at half time was 1-3 to 0-2 in our favour.
For twenty minutes in the second half
we failed to up our game and allowed Rosscarbery into the game more.
During this time we failed to score from play and added only one point
from a free taken by Colm O’Keeffe in the seventh minute. In the
twentieth minute a free pointed by the opposition reduced our lead to a
minimum.
During the last ten minutes the
standard of play improved considerably as both sides repeatedly moved
the ball from defence into attack. With just a minute left in normal
time a free allowed Rosscarbery to come within a point of us. Another
point almost on full time was scored and the sides ended up level
Extra time was played. In the first
period Sean Beecher opened the scoring with a point and this was
followed by a second from Jeremiah Ahern. The second half saw
Rosscarbery bring this two-point lead to a minimum. The final minutes of
play saw both teams dig deep but the St Colman’s team held on for a
well deserved victory.

Mhuire AG 2-6
The semi-final of the Cork Colleges U16
‘A’ hurling championship was played at Watergrasshill on Monday 14th
March. The opposition was Gaelcholaiste Mhuire AG of Cork city.
Conditions were not great as it was raining and there was a fairly
strong wind against St Colman’s in the first half.
This was a very one sided game even
though many of the St Colman’s team did not play well. By the tenth
minute St Colman’s were leading by 5-2 to 0-2. Gaelcholaíste scored
their first goal in the twelfth minute and were back into the game for
the rest of the half and added a further 1-6 to their tally during this
period, while the Fermoy side only managed a single point. This left the
half –time score at 6-2 to 2-5.
Playing with the wind in the second
half St Colman’s continued on top and finished convincing winners.
They now play Glanmire Community School in the final.

St Colman’s 3-14 v Gaelcolaiste Mhuire 0-3
The U14 hurling team played Gaelcolaiste Mhuire on
Wednesday 23rd February. The game was played in the North Mon
pitch.
This was a tough competitive game even though the
score line seems to suggest different. It was a very physical game and
the main difference between teams was that the St Colman’s boys were
more skilful and took the scores.
The Fermoy boys also showed great courage and
discipline throughout the game. It was a great win and well done to
everyone on the team.

St Colman’s
lose Harty Cup semi-final
(Report by Mr. Donal O'Connell)
St Colman’s College 1-6 v CBS Thurles 4-10
The St Colman’s College, Fermoy played Thurles on
Sunday 13th February in the semi-final of the Dr Harty cup. The venue
was Clonmel.
Kevin Dineen opened the scoring with a point from a
sixty five metre free in the seventh minute and Thurles responded with
two points. In the twelfth minute Paudie Lynch rounded his man with the
ball and laid it off to Jamie Kearney who sent it to the back of the
net. Playing with the wind St Colman’s should have stretched the lead,
and good solid hurling by Thurles made sure this did not happen. In
spite of getting a good supply of ball the Colman’s forwards failed to
add more than three points to their tally after the goal. Thurles on the
other hand saw the game turn very much in their favour in the
twenty-fifth minute when a good save by Colm O’Keeffe was picked up on
the rebound by a vigilant Thurles forward who put it into the net. They
were now approaching half time level and went into a single point lead
in the thirtieth minute.
The second half saw the Thurles side playing with ever
increasing confidence. However Paudie Lynch opened the scoring in the
second half and the sides were again level. The game was well and truly
decided between the seventh and the eighteenth minutes as Thurles were
rewarded for their domination with tree goals. Between that and the end
of the match they added a further five points without reply.
Much reason for Thurles’ success lay in the total
effectiveness of their defence as they totally closed down the Colman’s
forwards who had had much more success against the other teams they
played in the campaign. The resulting distribution of ball into their
own forwards was well used.
Even though this was devastating defeat this years
team certainly did have a good campaign and they can be proud of winning
the Callaghan cup and getting to the Harty semi-final. They worked hard
at training. They have certainly added to great tradition of hurling
associated with St Colman’s. Garvan Queenay did an excellent job in
both the training and coaching. Well done everyone.

St Colman’s 3-11 v Colaiste Chriost Rí 2-10
The U14 football team played Colaiste Chriost Rí at
home on Wenesday 9th February. This game started with both
sides fighting for dominance and Chriost at first seemed to have the
edge. St Colman’s conceded several points as result. However the
Fermoy side came into the game during the second quarter. At the half
times whistle the visitors were still two points ahead.
The second half was a very different matter. St Colman’s
very soon gained full control of the game and got the all important
goals. Chriost Rí fought back but the Colman’s boys held and finished
strong to win the game by a margin of four points.
This was fine performance by the whole team. At corner
back Stephen O’Brien played very well. Liam Whelan did a great job on
a very good player at halfback. At centre field Sean Finn had a huge
bearing on the final outcome of the game. At right half forward Brian
Mulcahy turned in a very good performance. In the corner Darren Tobin
won a lot of ball and took his scores. Well done lads, this was an
important win.

St Colman’s College 2-16 v Tarbert 0-10
On Wednesday 2nd February the St Colman’s senior
football team travelled to Ballingarry, Co Limerick, to play the
semi-final of the Munster Senior ‘B’ football championship. The
opposition was Tarbert, Co Kerry.
The first half was won conclusively by St Colman’s, the score being
2-5 to 0-6. Paudie Lynch scored the first goal. The Tarbert keeper was
in the process of shepherding the ball wide. Paudie dramatically got
inside him, rounded him with the ball and put into the back of the net.
Paudie also scored the second goal. This time he carried the ball forty
metres through the Tarbert defence and drove the ball to the top of the
net.
Adrian Mannix, the free taker, was very much on target scoring four
points out four attempts. He scored another three points from play. At
midfield Robert O’Driscoll dominated in the air and his delivery was
outstanding. Colm O’Keeffe and Michael Sheehan won a lot of ball up
front.
The backs gave an outstanding display right through the game,
especially in the second half when they came under immense pressure.
This was a great display and earns the team a place in the final. The
opposition will be Tipperary.
On Sunday next St Colman’s will contest the semi-final of the
Munster Senior Colleges hurling championship for the Dr Harty Cup. The
game is against Thurles CBS and the game will be played in Clonmel.
