Thurles CBC in control despite lively opening by St Peter’s
While they fell 1-1 to 0-0 behind inside two minutes, the Harty Cup champions outscored their Wexford town opponents 0-18 to 0-11 thereafter, limiting Peter’s to just three points after half-time. Five points on the trot before the interval, and then two immediately afterwards, proved the key sequence in setting up a decider against either St Kieran’s College or Presentation College, Athenry, who clash tomorrow.
A wide spread of scorers held Thurles in good stead, with seven players registering, and five of getting more than one. They looked in trouble, however, when Jack Pettit’s early point for Peter’s was followed by a well-taken Rory O’Connor goal as Thurles racked up the wides.
