Thomas Douglas delivers as De La Salle break Midleton CBS

Harty Cup - De La Salle College 0-12 Midleton CBS 0-12: De La Salle talisman Thomas Douglas made up for a rare off day when he took responsibility for a last-minute free at a windswept Carriganore to tie with Midleton and send his team to the quarter-finals.

The number 14 had missed three frees and picked up a yellow card by the time this golden chance arose. From inside his own half, the 16-year-old made amends and fired it over the bar. It secured a draw which was enough to edge Midleton to a quarter-final place.

Manager Dermot Dooley took the decision to call out Douglas even though Harry Ruddle deputised during their second-half fightback and nailed four out of four placed balls.
