Anthony Ryan to the rescue as Templemore clinch classic

Dr Harty Cup - Our Lady’s Templemore (Tipperary) 2-15 De La Salle (Waterford) 2-13 (AET): As the ball dropped among a forest of flying hurleys, there was just one thought on Anthony Ryan’s mind — “pull on the thing!”

It was now or never for Our Lady’s Templemore in Saturday’s epic Harty Cup semi-final against De La Salle in Bansha.

Having watched a seven-point lead become a three-point deficit down the home straight, Our Lady’s were staring defeat squarely in the face, until Kevin Hassett stood over a sideline cut in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
