Harty Cup round-up: Josh Beausang comes to rescue for Midleton CBS

Josh Beausang’s late point earned Midleton CBS a draw against Blackwater CS at Waterford IT yesterday, but the east Cork school’s hopes of qualification to the Harty Cup quarter-finals rest on today’s game between Ardscoil Rís and Waterford’s De La Salle.

Having led by 0-9 to 0-3 at half-time in the Group 1 clash, Midleton conceded an early second-half goal to Blackwater’s Ben O’Brien and points from Jack Pender and Ryan Gray brought the Waterford school back into the game.

Another goal, from Adam Casey, put them 2-8 to 0-13 up with a minute left, with Midleton down to 13 players, but Beausang held his nerve to level at the death.
