11.11.10
The Inishowen Combined
Schools U13 and a half team enter Ulster Colleges
competition on Saturday when they host St Pat’s Maghera
in their first game of the Corn na nÓg competition in
Muff at 12 noon.

August, is managed by Sean O’Hare and the Moville
Community College teacher is assisted by Michael

and Mickey McCarron. |

They have performed well in
challenge matches, defeating St Columb’s College, Holy
Cross Strabane and the Donegal North West U14 divisional
squad in recent weeks, but lost to a very strong Tyrone
select last weekend.
The 32-strong Coláistí Inis Eoghain squad features
players from Carn Community School, Crana College,
Moville Community College and Scoil Mhuire, and all
seven local clubs are expected to be represented in the
starting 15. The squad had their final training session
under floodlights in Buncrana last night.
Corn na nÓg winners in 2008 and beaten finalists, St
Pat’s Maghera will provide very tough opposition for
Coláistí Inis Eoghain in their debut in the competition.
The school draws players from leading Derry clubs like
Glenullin, Lavey, Slaughtneil, Swatragh, Kilrea, Glen
and Ballinascreen and their U15 and half team have
qualified for the Rannafast Cup final, which is also
scheduled for Saturday.
Saturday’s game in Muff has a 12 noon throw-in and
organisers are hoping for a large crowd of parents,
siblings, school friends and club members to come along
and give the boys their support.
