O’Shaughnessy lifts Colman’s in Harty thriller

St. Colman's 2-10

Shrouded in a pall of gloom following the death of first year student Thomas O’Keeffe, and wearing black armbands as a mark of respect, St. Colman’s finally ended gallant De La Salle’s challenge with a superb goal from captain Andrew O’Shaughnessy, eight minutes from the end of a tremendous contest.

This was one of the great games in the recent history of the Dr. Harty Cup. In atrocious conditions, De La Salle gave it their all, but their heroism was not enough to deny supremely talented St. Colman’s a tilt at the three in-a-row.
