Árdscoil earn shot at atonement

EVER since they lost last year’s All-Ireland Colleges SAHC final, Árd Scoil Rís have been fuelled by a desire to rectify their mistakes.

On Saturday they assured themselves a chance at atonement when they breezed past the challenge of Castlecomer CS at Templemore. Their post-match satisfaction was spiced further by the news that it will be St Kieran’s, their conquerors last season, who they will be pitted against in Semple Stadium in a fortnight.

“When we came back at the start of the year, our goal was to get to the All-Ireland final again” said manager and Limerick senior hurler Niall Moran.
