Late drama sees Mitchelstown CBS win Munster B title

Mitchelstown CBS 2-14 Cashel CS 0-19: High drama at the end of this thrilling under-18.5 schools ‘B’ hurling final in Clonmel and it was Mitchelstown CBS who got out with the gong, with a late free by sharpshooter James Keating followed by a late miss by Cashel ace Eoghan Connolly.

It was cruel luck on Connolly who did more than anyone to keep Cashel CS in this match after a first-minute goal by Mitchelstown and another midway through the second half had the north Cork school ahead for much of the game.

Lining out at centre-back, Eoghan Connolly scored a succession of brilliant long-range frees, some from inside his own half, others from tight angles near the sideline, as well as a ‘65’ and point from play for good measure, but unfortunately his sole miss came with almost the last puck of the game.
