Mullane the man as De La Salle coast through

THEY must wait until next weekend to discover their opponents, but De La Salle will be in confident mood ahead of the Waterford SHC final after the impressive manner of their victory in Walsh Park yesterday.

Passage may have been impressive in qualifying but it was quickly evident after the early stages of this game that they were not in the same class as the city side.

Back in August, De La Salle’s ambitions of a second title in three years suffered a setback when Ballygunner hammered them by 15 points. However, on the evidence of this display, they are well on the way to re-capturing the form which saw them go all the way to the All-Ireland club final two years ago.
