Midleton left to rue Ard Scoil revival

SOMETHING for both protagonists in yesterday’s Dr Harty Cup clash in Dromcollogher as Midleton CBS and Ard Scoil Rís refused to be separated at the final whistle.

It was Ard Scoil Rís who tied the game up at the death by rattling off three late points courtesy of John Fitzgibbon, Declan Hannon and Kevin Downes, who flashed over the levelling score in injury-time.

There was still time for Midleton to grab honours but goalkeeper William McCarthy’s late long-range free dropped just short and the Ard Scoil Rís defence cleared.
