De La Salle set to shoot down Gunners

Just six days after the Waterford minors broke down the barriers of history in Croke Park, the SHC swings back into action tonight with a heavyweight quarter-final between De La Salle and Ballygunner at Walsh Park (5.30pm).

De La Salle are strong favourites to retain the title for the first time. They breezed through the group stages with four wins from five, where Jake Dillon shone brightest by compiling 5-29.

Fraher Field hosts a tasty triple bill of last eight encounters tomorrow. Mount Sion must overcome their injury woes to shake off Tallow in the opener at 1.30pm. The responsibility rests with minor star Austin Gleeson and Stephen Roche to deliver the scores required for Sion.
