Another power play from Árd Scoil

IT took three epic encounters and herculean performances before Ard Scoil Rís secured a historic first Dr Harty Cup title against Thurles CBS last March.

If that victory required painstaking effort, then the Limerick school’s second crown arrived after a leisurely stroll in yesterday’s decider in the Gaelic Grounds.

The pre-match suspicions that Árd Scoil Rís had done the hard work in the earlier rounds, particularly when defeating St Flannan’s in the semi-final, came to pass as they crushed Charleville CBS by a whopping 25 points.
