Champions Ardscoil Rís progress in fine style

Ardscoil Rís 4-16 Charleville CBS 1-7: Ardscoil Rís produced another impressive display in the Dr Harty Cup at Kilmallock yesterday, beating Charleville CBS by 18-points. The champions, who defeated Hamilton High in the first round by a big margin, scored 4-14 from play, are now in the last eight.

Charleville were competitive in the opening half even though they trailed by seven points at the break, but they lost their way thereafter, and had to rely on able free-taker Cormac O’Brien for most their scores. Their goal came in second-half stoppage time.

When Darragh Carroll’s long delivery deceived Charleville CBS goalkeeper David Jones on six minutes, Ardscoil Rís were up and running. Jones did well to bring the sliotar down but with the sun in his eyes the ball dropped over the line.
