Reigning champions PS Chorca Duibhne required a last minute goal to overcome the gutsy challenge of St Flannan’s, Ennis in today’s Munster GAA Post Primary Schools Corn Uí Mhuiri quarter-final.

The Dingle school came from 0-3 to 1-2 down at half-time to edge a tight contest on a scoreline of 1-8 to 1-6.

Ruaidhri O Beaglaoich came to his side’s rescue with a last minute goal and they will now face Rochestown College in the last four.

Rochestown got the better of Colaiste Choilm by 3-8 to 1-10 today.

Elsewhere, last year’s defeated finalists St Brendan’s defeated Tralee CBS by 2-17 to 3-9.

That results means the famed Kerry nursery advances to a penultimate stage outing with Clonakilty CC who overcame Hamilton CS Bandon by 1-7 to 0-5.
