Quirke inspires De la Salle
The De La Salle full forward scored 1-7 from frees, and his immense contribution played a significant part in Mount Sion’s fall by the wayside in a highly-charged and dramatic encounter which saw intercounty stars Ken McGrath and Eoin McGrath sent off in injury time for verbal abuse of the referee.
With 34 county senior championship successes behind them, against De La Salle’s paltry two, the last achieved in 1914, Mount Sion went into this semi-final raging favourites.
