Chorca Dhuibhne 0-10 St Flannan's Ennis 1-3:AFTER A switch of venue from Abbeyfeale to Rathkeale, which resulted in a 90-minute delay to the start of this Corn Uí Mhuirí quarter-final clash, the Kerry side deservedly advanced to an all-Kerry semi-final meeting with Tralee CBS, after a game spoilt by a strong wind and driving rain.
St Flannan’s had every chance of causing an upset as they played with the wind in the first half and led 0-3 to 0-0 after 20 minutes thanks to points from wing forward Conor Cleary (2) and another from Clare minor Martin O’Leary. However Chorca Dhuibhne finished the half the stronger thanks to surging runs of Pádraig Ó Sé, Barra Ó Suilleabhain and Brian Ó Raoill
