Macroom’s late scoring spree sees off Críost Rí

DE LA SALLE (Macroom) progressed to the knock-out stages of the Corn Uí Mhuirí after victory over champions Coláiste Chríost Rí in an excellent Group D clash in Cloughduv yesterday.

The success ensures they will top the group, whereas Críost Rí must now prepare for a showdown with Coláiste Spioraid Naoimh to decide who claims the second quarter-final berth.

The powerful burst De La Salle made for the finishing line succeeded in settling this clash as they outscored their opponents 1-6 to 0-1 in the closing 11 minutes. The key score came in the 54th minute when corner-forward David Horgan knocked the ball to the net after DanielTwomey’s blistering drive had been parried by goalkeeper Colm Keane.
