St. Brendan’s 0:13 – Patrician Mallow 0:8

Congratulations to our senior football panel for their hard fought win over Patrician Academy Mallow in Banteer today. With the group on a knife edge and our numerous serious injuries at present, this was a true test of panel depth and commitment.

The Sem led by 2 points at half time – 6 pts to 4 and eventually finished winning by 4 points.

We look forward to being involved in Munster Colleges in January 2024!

Well done to all.
