Awesome Árdscoil always in control

A DOMINANT second-half in which they outscored their opponents by 10 points to two saw reigning champions Árdscoil Rís comfortably defeat Cork college Coláiste Chríost Rí in this second round Harty Cup game at chilly Mallow yesterday.

Árdscoil had also dominated the opening half — led at the break by double scores (1-7 to 0-5) but inaccuracy cost them dearly.

Chríost Rí began brightly with corner-forward Cian Walsh and sweet-striking wing-back Phillip Kelleher scoring from range. Sixmilebridge starlet Jamie Shanahan (member of the ‘Bridge side for this Sunday’s Clare SHC final) replied for the Limerick college.
