Mounthawk Corn Ui Mhuiri

Well done to the John Mitchels players who were part of a historic Mercy Mounthawk win in the Corn Ui Mhuiri quarter final over Clonakilty CC.

Sean Corkery and Bobby Bryne both played vital roles in the victory while we also had panelists Kian O Shea, Cathal Murphy and James Moran. They will now play the winners of The Sem and Bandon in the Semi-final which is fixed for Saturday 28th January. A fantastic achievement for all involved
