St Colman’s edge Harty Cup thriller
Last season’s semi-finalists looked destined to open their campaign on a sour note after conceding five points on the bounce between the 39th and 43rd minute to fall 1-14 to 1-9 behind. Flannan Cleary’s students had already pegged back a six-point deficit late on in the first half and they were going to be hard pressed to repeat the trick as the clock ticked into the final quarter.
But fight back they did, and it was a pretty remarkable 10-minute burst that St Colman’s produced coming down the home stretch to run out four-point winners and, in the process, secure top spot in group E.
