O’Flynn the ace for De La Salle

AN 11-point winning margin, embellished by a late 1-2 blast, was representative of the superiority De La Salle exerted over Midleton CBS in yesterday’s Dr Harty Cup quarter-final in Cappoquin.

O’Flynn the ace for De La Salle

The Waterford city side were in formidable form in advancing to a semi-final date with local rivals Coláiste na Déise that bristles with promise. De La Salle will now be bidding to reach their first decider since they completed back to back titles in 2008 and the nature of this display will fuel their hopes.

The physical edge they enjoyed over Midleton CBS was a key facet on a day the soft pitch prevented either team from constructing flowing passages of play. The De La Salle rearguard were outstanding with full-back Paul Coughlan, centre-back Austin Gleeson and wing-back Sam O’Neill leading the way. The concession of only two points from play in the first-half and none in the second-half spoke volumes for the standards of their defending.
