"We knew we had it in us"
March 27, 2014
St Kieran's manager Liam Smith never doubted how good his players were.
The beaten Leinster finalists set up a novel all-Kilkenny All-Ireland PP Schools HC final rematch against city rivals Kilkenny CBS on Saturday week by thumping Ardscoil Ris (4-10 to 1-12) in last weekend's semi-final.
"We knew we had a game like that in us," Smith told The Kilkenny People. "We let ourselves down a few weeks ago but recovered well against St Brigid's.
"We just simply hurled. The lads were able to do that. We knew Ardscoil were a fantastic team but we knew we could beat them.
"We had won every game this year, then had one poor match in the Leinster final. We wanted to win that game, but we knew we had a chance to regroup and did that."
