Coiste Oiliúna Puc Fada Final – A Close Encounter!

There was a very close final in the Cork U16 Puc Fada,

held in Glen Rovers last week with John Walsh (Glen Rovers) emerging as a worthy winner over Robert Foster

(Carrigaline). Following the first round of shots, the Glen

Rovers man took the lead and in the next two efforts

managed to hold off the opposition to claim the victory. The winner of the Senior competition was Seamus Coffey

(UCC) and both will now go forward to represent Cork at

the Munster Finals which will be held in Thurles on the

eve of the Munster Hurling Final. Best of luck lads!

Bainisteoir. Locally-based Peter Kelly, better

known as Franc of Weddings by Franc, will take on

the challenge of guiding Fermoy through the series, which will be aired later in the year.

The first Quarter-final against Ballymun Kickhams will

This match represents a repeat of the 1906 All Ireland final when, Fermoy (again representing Cork) lost to

Kickhams by a single point, 0-6 to 0-5.
