McNamara goal gives Jarlath’s the edge

IT was an All-Ireland Colleges semi-final to savour at the Claughaun Grounds, Limerick on Saturday with sweet, flowing football as St Jarlath’s of Tuam edged out battling Coláiste Chríost Rí to book a final date with holders St Colman’s, Newry.

No question Jarlath’s deserved their triumph and now bid for a 13th Hogan Cup success.

They rocked Críost Rí with an awesome start that propelled them into a five-point lead and hit the Munster champions with a Conor McNamara goal four minutes before the break which proved critical.
