Goalkeeper Shaun O'Brien was the star as De La Salle defeated fourteen man Abbeyside 3-15 to 1-15 in Round 3 of the Waterford SHC at Walsh Park.
O'Brien saved a penalty from Stephen Enright and then scored one at the other end as Salle sealed top spot in Group D. Jack Fagan and Kevin Moran also found the net for the Gracedieu outfit. Maurice Power was sent off in the fifth minute for Abbeyside on a straight red card. Mark Ferncombe sent over seven second half points.
Goals either side of half time by Mikey Mahony and Dessie Hutchinson gave Ballygunner an eleven point win over Passage (2-20 to 0-15).
Top scorer Pauric Mahony pulled up with a back spasm in the second half and Gunners boss Darragh O'Sullivan says that he is an injury worry ahead of next week's quarter final.
