Aisake the ace for Na Piarsaigh
The Carlton Aussie Rules player came on as a substitute for Na Piarsaigh in their permanent tsb SHC quarter-final defeat of Sarsfields, but it was younger brother Aisake who caught the eye, scoring nine points. A well-drilled northside team always had too much scoring power for the Glanmire side, and Stephen O’Sullivan’s goal with a quarter of an hour left killed the game off. Na Piarsaigh now await the winners of the Blackrock-Glen Rovers tie in the semi-final.
