* FANCIED Tralee CBS saw off St Flannan’s 1-15 to 1-12 at Glin yesterday in a game that was always in the balance. St Flannan’s, boosted by their dominant midfield pairing of Alan O’Neill and Tony Kelly, threatened to spoil the Tralee party. However the latter’s attack, led by full forward Jamie Moriarty who scored eight points, was enough to see the Kerry side advance.

Tralee led 0-8 to 0-6 at the interval, but Martin O’Leary closed the gap with a free.

Then the game exploded into life with two goals within a minute. In the 34th minute Shane O’Callaghan shot to the Clare net for Tralee. Then Cathal Doohan goaled for St Flannan’s.

The game was tied on 1-10 with 10 minutes left but Tralee’s Jamie Moriarty killed off the St Flannan’s challenge with three points.

* HOLDERS St Brendan’s College Killarney advanced to the semi-final after a 2-15 to 1-9 win over Killorglin at Listry.

St Brendan’s dominated the opening half after Tom Moriarty burst through for a brilliant goal, and with midfielders Kieran Murphy and Gary O’Leary in control, the Sem opened up a 1-8 to 0-1 lead, with Conor Keane scoring at will.

Killorglin hit back with a brace from Gavin Nolan and a Timmy Walsh point, but O’Leary with a second point left it 1-9 to 0-4 at the interval.

Killorglin rallied as Timmy Walsh hit a point and then Jack O’Connor cracked home a good goal. That left just four points in it but three rapid points by Bryan O’Shea widened the margin and it was all but done and dusted when Keane set up Pádraig Nagle for their second goal.
