The rampaging full-back was forced to sit out the re-run at Queen’s but his teammates delivered a professional display despite only having 11 fit players available. Joe McClenaghan sparkled during an eye-catching display culminating in two goals while Jude Winchester also fired home a brace. Goalkeeper Thomas McCaffrey was an assured influence with his vocal commands keeping his defenders on their toes.
The league win sets up the Corpus lads perfectly for an assault on the double as they take on De La Salle College in the U18 Cup final, which is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the Dub (kick-off 1pm). Another double would be a fitting way for this team to end their school footballing journey and would represent a pat on the back for the tireless work of teachers Gerry O’Kane and Peter Murray. Sean Hawkins, Gavin Treanor, Sean Featherstone and Glentoran star Sean Ward have all championed football in the school throughout the various age groups under the watchful eye of ‘Director of Football’ Michael McCloskey.

With a string of young pupils from the school already attracting the interest of English and Scottish Premier League clubs success isguaranteed to be a regular feature at Corpus Christi College.
