Árd Scoil Rís maintain playoff hopes with win over St Colman’s
It wasn’t summer hurling — the heavy underfoot conditions, coupled with the long grass put paid to any hope of that. Nevertheless, with a good sprinkling of gifted hurlers on both teams, what we saw was about as good as you’re going to get at this time of year.
Colman’s drew first blood, a pointed free by wing-forward Leo Sexton, but from very early on it was apparent that the Limerick city college had the edge. A slight edge, but enough. Five points on the trot, courtesy of Tom O’Brien, Kieran Brennan, midfielder Nicky O’Connell, and half-backs Conor Allis and Colm Quinn, had them 0-5 to 0-1 ahead after the first quarter.
