DUNMORE CS AND ST CUAN’S SHINESchools now look forward to All-Ireland challengeLAST weekend brought mixed fortunes for Galway’s representatives in Connacht Post Primary Senior A, C and D Football Championship finals. Coláiste Bhaile Chláir’s attempts to join St. Jarlath’s, Tuam CBS (later St. Pat’s) and St. Mary’s on the province’s A roll of honour came unstuck against a St. Gerald’s, Castlebar outfit that proved effective front-runners from the opening quarter. Dunmore Community School and St. Cuan’s College, Castleblakeney enjoyed better days and will go forward to represent Connacht in the coming weeks after their successes in B and D deciders, respectively. Dunmore’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric with provincial silverware won at D, C and now B level since 2020. St. Cuan’s, meanwhile, simply refused to be beaten and came from behind at the end of both normal and extra-time before a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Roscommon Community School.
