Corn Ui Mhuiri

[intothewest]

Good win for Clon. Brendans were missing a few but still had most of big guns so would have expected to win. Rochestown allegedly threw away their game and also should have triumphed. Colaiste Cholim and Hammies look like they are set up decently.
Be great for the competition and for Cork football if there was some competitive games. Tralee CBS are looking outrageously strong this year and favourites to win it.

It saddens me to see how far Chríost Rí have fallen. Football was always such a huge part of the life of the school and I’ve great memories of my time there going to matches to support the team. From what I can see they were hammered in the B championship a few weeks ago.

The A schools should be such an easy win for us in both codes in terms of player development.

Bags of talent, great competitions to bring lads on and develop players. You'll never have more access to a player than in his school.

A coordinated approach between the development officers and schools would reap huge dividends for us. It's a no brainer.

If you look at the calibre or profile of coaches the Kerry schools have had access to, either by design or default. We've been behind that the last few years for sure.

Good to see the positive results this week for Cork schools though.

An absolute no brainer.

Scrap the development squads and put all the resources into the schools. You see every year how players develop playing in Harty schools. The same level of effort and preparation needs to be put into the Corn Ui Mhuiri ones and that needs to come from the County Board firstly

Clon have been building slowly for the last few years, prior to that dont know if they were ever in the Corn Ui Mhuiri.

As far as I know they have been in the corn ui mhuiri since the vocational schools competitions were scrapped. They got to a semi final before but I would say yesterday was probably their biggest ever win in the competition.

Back in the noughties my school CSN won our only C ui Mhuiri by beating St Brendans in a replay an achievement in its self but in hindsight in was almost certainly the worst Brendans team ever because if im right only one of that team went on to play with Kerry

Yeah - combination of factors. Back in the day, the streets around there including Capwell itself were teeming with young families. Nowadays, it's elderly folk whose kids have long since flown the nest.
I think in 1985 there was over 800 boys enrolled there and these days it's less than 500, a lot of them from non national backgrounds.
You also need major buy in from teachers and especially the principal to drive a successful schools sports team and current crop don't appear to have the interest that previous teachers used to have. Likes of Bill Reidy, Mick Evans, Jim Cremin (RIP) long since retired.

I remember before a Hogan Cup Semi Final listening to Mick Evans giving a talk to all players and supporters who were heading up to Nenagh for the semi final that you can always repeat the leaving and that football comes first.

Those days are gone.

I think Paul Kerrigan and Jamie Burns are involved these days? Chríost Rí used to attract people from all over Cork, not just Barrs / Nemo. Rochestown College, Christians and Pres seem to have captured some of the talent that would previously have gone to Chríost Rí. A disaster for Cork GAA, but at least a few fathers have become gentlemen.
