Their starting XV comprises of players from just two clubs — Dingle and An Ghaeltacht — further highlighting their limited pick.
Great work being put in at underage level obviously by Dingle and An Ghaeltacht. This is a massive achievement by PCD.

All Ireland SF scheduled for March 28th with Munster V Ulster meaning the Mc Rory winner await PCD. Should they win that the final is down for April 11th - four days before the Kerry minors are due to begin their Munster and AI defence.

St. pat's Cavan are the outfit to beat. Seriously good school and they have a large number of pupils to choose from. Here the reports of their semi finals. St Patrick’s Cavan 1-12 Omagh CBS 2-4 From Kevin Kelly St Patrick’s Cavan are through to their first Danske Bank MacRory Cup final in 40 years after a thoroughly deserved five point success over Omagh CBS at Castleblayney yesterday afternoon. The winners looked the better side throughout and they now face St.Patrick’s Dungannon in the decider on St Patrick’s Day. St Patrick’s Cavan led 1-7 to 1-3 at halftime and they were full value for that advantage after recovering from losing an early goal. Sixteen year old Thomas Edward Donohoe, who was a constant threat throughout, opened the scoring in the fifth minute for Cavan. In the next attack Omagh almost grabbed a goal when a free from the left wing from James Darcy dropped in the danger zone and Nathan Donnelly pulled on it but Matthew McKenna made a great block on the line. Donnelly then levelled matters before the Tyrone lads found the net in the 9th minute when Aiden Fullerton and Andrew McGrath combined for centre half back Cathal Donaghy to burst through and rifle the ball to the roof of the net. Donohoe and Darcy traded points from frees before a superb effort from a tight angle from Conor Smith was followed by one from McKenna to level matters by the 21st minute. Three minutes later Donohoe left a couple of players in his wake before smashing the ball to the net past keeper Patrick O’Neill. Full forward Ben Conaty tagged on a point and while John Harkin responded from a free, it was Donohoe who had the final say of the half from a placed ball as well. It was Omagh who had the opening score of the second half with a well taken effort from Aiden McSorley that went over via the post. But Cavan lifted their game to dominate the rest of the third quarter. McKenna, Donohoe and McKenna all registered to leave them 1-10 to 1-4 in front. It looked all over bar the shouting, but eight minutes from time the Tyrone lads were thrown a lifeline when Gavin Slane first timed the ball to the net. That proved to be their last score however as the winners stepped on the gas again. Omagh keeper Patrick O’Neill made a great save to deny Donohoe but Cavan weren’t going to be denied and two frees from the boot of Pierce Smith sealed victory and sent them through to a first decider since 1975. Omagh finished with fourteen men after full back Eoghan Murray was sent off a minute from time. St Patrick’s Cavan : F O’Rourke, D Lunney, D Monaghan, L Fortune, D Kennedy, C McManus, JJ McGovern, T Galligan, B Argue, P Smith (0-3, 2f), P Leddy, M McKenna (0-2), C Smith (0-2), B Conaty (0-1), T E Donohoe (1-4, 3f). Subs : R O’Neill for Leddy, B McKiernan for Argue, D Wilson for Galligan Omagh CBS : P O’Neill, P Keyes, E Murray, C Moss, O McGinn, C Donaghy (1-0), J Harkin (0-1,1f), P McGirr, J Darcy (0-1, 1f), N Donnelly (0-1), A McSorley (0-1), M Coreless, A McGrath, A Fullerton, G Slane (1-0). Subs : R McKenna for Keyes, T Clarke for Donnelly, T McNamee for Fullerton, C Loughran for McSorley Referee – C Branagan, Down February 28, 2015 St Patrick’s Academy Dungannon 3-11 St Paul’s Bessbrook 1-10 From Kevin Kelly in Armagh An outstanding first half display paved the way for St Patrick’s Academy Dungannon to reach the Danske Bank MacRory Cup final at the expense of St Paul’s Bessbrook in Armagh last night. With the wind at their backs the Tyrone school dominated the opening half to establish a 3-8 to 1-3 lead against the shell shocked MacCormack Cup winners. It could well have been worse for Bessbrook as the winners had two goals chalked off in the first half for square ball infringements. The Academy couldn’t have asked for a better start to the game with Ryan Coleman and Cormac O’Hagan combining for Daniel Kerr to get a goal with only thirty seconds gone on the clock. The next two scores turned out to be goals as well as first of all Shea Hoey levelled in the eighth minute. But almost immediately O’Hagan converted a penalty after Fintan McClure had been followed. Wing back Liam Rafferty and Kerr tagged on points before Jody McGovern replied for Bessbrook. The superb Ryan Coleman then landed a brilliant point from distance before the same player exchanged passes with O’Hagan to fire to the net. A speculative effort from centre half back Stephen Corr sailed all the way to the net but it was ruled out as was a finish moments later from Mark Donnelly. O’Hagan knocked over two frees before a relieved Bessbrook greeted the half time whistle. In the opening minutes of the second half Hoey twice had good chances for goals but all he got was a point to show for his efforts and after that a superb Academy defence closed up shop with Ciaran Higgins, Stephen Corr and Michael McKernan to the fore. Bessbrook were forced into shooting from long range and most of the time their shots were under severe pressure. Jody McGovern, Hoey, Caolan McConville and Miceal McNamee had points but the Academy maintained a safe distance thanks to efforts from Coleman and Rafferty as they made it through to the St.Patrick’s Day showpiece. St Patrick’s Academy Dungannon: C Donaghy, C Barker, C Higgins, C Lyons, L Rafferty (0-2), S Corr, M McKernan, C Campbell (0-1), B Kennedy, C O’Hagan (1-2, 2f, 1-0pen), D Kerr (1-1), C Kilpatrick, R Coleman (1-3), F McClure (0-1,1f), M Donnelly (0-1). Subs: P Molloy for Donnelly, N Muldoon for Corr, L Mallon for Kilpatrick, B Crealey for Kennedy St Paul’s Bessbrook: M Murphy, S Finnegan, C Boylan, K Mallon, D Loye, R Gaskin (0-1), F O’Rourke, C McConville (0-2), P Quinn, R McSherry, M McCabe, J McGovern (0-3), M McNamee (0-2, 2f), J Og Burns, S Hoey (1-2). Subs: J Durnin for O’Rourke, P McArdle for Boyle, S Conlon for McSherry Referee: J McQuillan, Cavan Some excellent videos here ulstercollegesgaa.org/schools/st-patricks-cavan/ulstercollegesgaa.org/school/dungannon-st-patricks/

half time
Dingle 1.06 Cavan 1.03
Goal by Cathal Bambury just before half time. Keeper saved and he rebounded to him and he finished.
Dingle have strong breeze in second half so if they can play with the wind as well as they played against it, they will win.

Also outstanding were Tom OSullivan at wing back, Garvey and Tomas O Connor.
Moriarty kicked the equalizer at the end of normal time and then kicked 3 points in extra time I think. All from two clubs!

PCD playing keep ball. Red card for a Cavan player. Commentators unhappy with the ref. I don't know why they were unhappy with the ref, he head butted the PCD player according to RnaG. Great win for PCD. Incredible achievement to make the final again. Very lucky, though to get the equalising point in injury time to bring it to extra time. In fairness they seem to have never say die attitude which is great to see. Against CBS Roscommon in the final who won the other semi by 10 pts. to 8.

Don't think they had a problem with the sending off more they seem to think the ref favoured pcd in most of his decisions l can recall them saying they should have had a penalty and pcd scored a point from a clear pick up off the ground and a few more decisions they were giving out about. Great achievement by pcd and best of luck in the final to them they don't seem to know the meaning of the word defeat .

Pobalcoil Chorca Dhuibhne, Kerry 1-14 St Patrick’s, Cavan 1-11 (AET)
Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne kept alive their Hogan Cup defence in dramatic fashion at Nenagh this afternoon.
The Munster champions trailed St Patrick’s, Cavan entering second-half stoppages of this absorbing semi-final contest and their cause appeared lost when Conchúir Ó Géibheannaigh kicked wide from the placed ball deep in injury time.
There was time for one more play and a foul on man of the match Brian Ó Beaglaioch afforded the Dingle school a second roll of the dice.
Seamus Ó Muircheartaigh had been substituted on 58 minutes and was reintroduced to kick the game-saving free. Just inside the 45-metre line and to the left of the posts, the full-forward directed his kick between the sticks to force extra-time.
Points thereafter from Seán Ó Gairbhia, Conchúir Ó Géibheannaigh (0-2) and Ó Muircheartaigh returned the champions to the decider where they will meet Roscommon CBS in a fortnight.
St Patrick’s, Cavan had moved themselves within touching distance of a final berth when kicking four unanswered points early in the second period to overturn a 1-6 to 1-3 interval deficit. Pierce Smith’s free on 57 minutes edged them 1-10 to 1-9 in front, but they were unable to hold out.
The Dingle school played against the elements in the opening period, putting themselves into pole position by establishing a three-point advantage.
The key score of that first-half arrived two minutes into first-half stoppages as Cathal Ó Bambaire kicked to the net.
The goal stemmed from a surging Brian Ó Beaglaioch run, the centre-back fouled as he crossed the Cavan 45-metre line.
A quick free found PJ Mac Láimh unmarked on the edge of the square and while Fergal O’Rourke produced a superb save to deny the half-forward, Ó Bambaire scrambled home the rebound.
St Patrick’s, Cavan struggled to capitalise on the elements, not helped by their defensive mentality and insistence on positioning 13 men behind the ball. Brendan Argue fisted their goal on 13 minutes.
Piece Smith and Thomas Edward Donohue supplied the minors, but their wide count stood at eight at half-time.
Scorers for Pobalcoil Chorca Dhuibhne: C Ó Géibheannaigh (0-7, 0-6 frees); S Ó Muircheartaigh (0-3, 0-2 frees); C Ó Bambaire (1-0); S Ó Gairbhia (0-2), PJ Mac Láimh, B Ó Beaglaioch (0-1).
Scorers for St Patrick’s, Cavan: TE Donohue (0-4 frees); P Smith (0-4, 0-3 frees); B Argue (1-0); P O’Reilly, D Kennedy, B Conarty (0-1 each).
Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne: L De Bhailís (Daingean Uí Chúis); C Ó Súilleabháin (Daingean Uí Chúis), T Ó Súilleabháin (Daingean Uí Chúis), C Ó Murchú (An Ghaeltacht); A Ó Conchúir (Daingean Uí Chúis), B Ó Beaglaioch (An Ghaeltacht), T Ó Súilleabháin (Daingean UíChúis); M Ó Conchúir (Daingean Uí Chúis), P Mac An tSíthigh (An Ghaeltacht); PJ Mac Láimh (An Ghaeltacht), S Ó Gairbhia (An Ghaeltacht), Gh Ó Brosnacháin (Daingean Uí Chúis); C Ó Géibheannaigh (Daingean Uí Chúis), S Ó Muircheartaigh (An Ghaeltacht), C Ó Bambaire (Daingean Uí Chúis).
Subs: R Ó Mainnín (Lios Póil) for Ó Brosnacháin (48 mins), T Mac an tSíthigh (Daingean Uí Chúis) for Ó Bambaire (55), L Ó Brosnacháin (Daingean Uí Chúis) for Ó Muircheartaigh (58), S Ó Muircheartaigh (An Ghaeltacht) for Mac Láimh (63).
St Patrick’s, Cavan: F O’Rourke (Laragh); D Lunney (Drumlane), D Monaghan (Drumlane), L Fortune (Cavan Gaels); D Kennedy (Killygarry), C McManus (Teemore Shamrocks), JJ McGovern (Swanlibar); T Galligan (Lacken), B Argue (Bailieborough Shamrocks); P Smith (Crosserlough), P Leddy (Lacken), D Brady (Ballyhaise); B Conaty (Denn), TE Donohue (Denn), C Smith (Killgarry).

PCD seem to have an endless supply of young footballers, bodes well for Dingle in the coming years, I do believe the majority are from dingle, would I be right with that assumption? I must mention the notable achievement by Tom Sullivan who has 4 Corn ui Mhuiri titles under his belt. This truly is a remarkable feat, to even play 4 years on a senior school team is an achievement but to win 4 munsters in a row is simply outrageous!! Anyway fair play to them and best of luck in the final.
