O’Halloran’s late goal double delight for CSN

Coláiste An Spioraid Naoimh 2-7 Coláiste Chríost Rí 1-8

Five minutes earlier it looked as if the champions were on course for another final appearance when Paul Kerrigan scored a magnificent goal to tie the game, then added the lead point.

However, after Richie Kenny appeared to have blown his side’s chance of an equalising point, CSN won a free 40 metres out. And from Denis Maher’s high lob O’Halloran, the Cork minor hurling and football goalkeeper of last season, rose majestically above the Chríost Rí defence to punch home the winning goal.
