Tralee CBS 0-13 St Brendan's Kilkenny 2-06:The intense rivalry between Tralee CBS and St Brendan's College resurfaced in the Corn Uí Mhuirí decider at Austin Stack Park, Tralee yesterday with the Tralee school eventually claiming their first Munster crown since 2000.
Though Tralee dominated for long periods, they failed to put the "Sem" away and the Killarney side fought back to reduce the deficit to a mere point with a few minutes remaining.
However, the Killarney team could not get the equalizer and so John O'Keeffe - the man who captained St Brendan's to Hogan Cup glory in 1969 - will now try and repeat the feat with this Tralee side.
