St. Colman's College, Fermoy

St. Colman's College, Fermoy

St. Colman's College (Irish: Coláiste Cholmáin) is an all-boys secondary school in Fermoy, County Cork. The school was founded in 1858, as the diocesan college of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cloyne. Archbishop Thomas Croke became the school's first President in this year. The school once accepted both day pupils and boarders, but this is no longer the case.

The school has a strong hurling tradition and has won the Dr. Harty Cup nine times. Many of these wins occurred during the last two decades under coach Denis Ring, who is now the principal of Blackwater Community School in Waterford.
