Cashel stun Ardscoil R铆s to reach first-ever Harty Cup final

Cashel CS 1-12 Ardscoil R铆s 0-14

Report by Therese O’Callaghan for the Irish Examiner newspaper

Adam Daly was the match-winning hero for Cashel Community School with his stoppage time point – his fourth in total – ensuring their place for the first time ever in the TUS Dr Harty Cup (U19 AH) final, after they edged past Ardscoil R铆s in a nail-biting semi-final at Kilmallock today.

A late Ardscoil R铆s goal denied the Tipperary side when these sides met in the group stage. They were level seven times on that October day in Cappamore, and it served as an accurate indication of what to expect at the Limerick venue – level seven times once more on this occasion.

Except for the Ardscoil R铆s opening point, Cashel CS were never led in this encounter. They were ahead 0-8 to 0-6 at the break, and subsequently had to sustain a large barrage of pressure from the All-Ireland champions as the North Circular Road school levelled this hugely entertaining game four times in the second-half.

As one would expect with so much at stake, there were mistakes – a wide count of 13 (Ardscoil R铆s) to 10 – but regardless of that statistic, Cashel CS celebrated wildly at Cathal McAllister鈥檚 final whistle.

Significant contributions came from every line of the field. Jack Quinlan and Ger O鈥橠wyer were excellent in defence. Joint-captain Ronan Connolly angled over some really difficult frees. Goal-scorer David McGrath and Adam Daly sparkled in attack, while number 12 Oisin O鈥橠onoghue starred as an extra-defender.

It was a devastating loss for Liam Cronin鈥檚 Ardscoil R铆s, but credit their opponents whose undeniable hunger was a key element in victory.

Cashel CS, managed by Brendan Ryan, took a narrow lead 0-4 to 0-3 after the first quarter. Free-taker Ronan Connolly split the posts three times from different angles for the advantage.

They stretched the gap to three by the 20th minute, Adam Daly stood out as he registered a couple.

Ardscoil finished the half with a brace from Michael Collins – important scores that cut the deficit, 0-6 to 0-8.

And their play improved upon the restart, a Marc O鈥橞rien point leaving just one between them.

But when joint-captain Ben Currivan set up David McGrath in the 35th minute, he finished sublimely for the only goal of the hour, 1-8 to 0-7.

Unfazed, Ardscoil R铆s cancelled out the major with three unanswered points. It was left to free-taker Fintan Fitzgerald to tie matters, 0-11 to 1-8 in the 49th minute. As well, Cashel CS Ciar谩n Byrne produced an outstanding save when he cleared the sliotar off of his own line.

The final 10 minutes saw the teams tied three times.

Cashel CS hadn鈥檛 scored in quarter of an hour, Connolly鈥檚 51st minute free a welcome flag. Fitzgerald levelled – both frees.

Again Connolly put Cashel CS in front, Ardscoil defender John O鈥橩eeffe replied.

When another defender Ciar谩n Byrne and Fitzgerald exchanged points (1-11 to 0-14), it appeared extra-time might be required.

But Daly popped up for the winning score in the 62nd minute.
