Coláiste Chríost Rí... 3-7 St Fachtna's..

Coláiste Chríost Rí ... 3-7 St Fachtna's ... 0-7: Two goals in the opening three minutes of the second-half helped Coláiste Chríost Rí qualify for the Corn Uí Mhuirí, Munster Colleges Senior Football Championship final against Coláiste na Sceilge, Caherciveen, in three weeks.

The Cork city school trailed 0-5 to 0-2 at the break at Inchigeela yesterday, but produced a stunning display on the resumption, when centre-back Brian Twomey and Colin O'Reilly were impressive.

Joe Shanahan grabbed the first goal before Tadhg Guiheen scored the first of his two to help Chríost Rí to a 2-2 to 0-5 lead.

Guiheen's second goal after 44 minutes sealed the issue.
