O’Driscoll eyes final redemption

The sight of the Westmeath goalkeeper’s head leaning back to follow the flight of another ball disappearing over his bar was the defining image of yesterday’s second semi-final which proved to be all but processional for Billy Morgan’s side.
AIT pushed the 20-time champions for the opening quarter, with James McGivney briefly raising hopes of an upset, but they fell away thereafter, unable to repeat the heroics that had seen off Carlow IT and CIT in earlier rounds.
