This is true - have heard blame put on the diverse nature of the current student body but doubt this is the issue.
School is big enough to be able to field strong squad with boys from likes of Nemo, Barrs, St Michaels, Douglas and further afield.
For a school to be competitive at any sport, there must be buy-in from the principal and senior staff. This does seem to be the case at CCR these days.
Cork county Board should be interacting with the school to help them if necessary. Too big an academy of potential future county players to be let drift away.
