Harty Cup Group 1 Round 3
De La Salle College (Waterford) 1-17
Christian Brothers College (Cork) 2-14
A late, late goal from super sub Robbie Doherty sent De La Salle College through to the Harty Cup quarter finals on Wednesday afternoon.
The Mooncoin man was mobbed on the field afterwards by the busload of Salle students who travelled to Ardmore. A dramatic draw saw both teams advance to the knockout stages in the New Year.
De La Salle seemed to be heading out of the competition when a dipping injury time free from Colm Hartley was cleared by the CBC defence. With 63 minutes on the watch, corner back Donnacha Fitzpatrick launched the ball back in around the house and Doherty whipped to the net. The final whistle blew and the Salle players checked the score with referee Tom Mansfield before the celebrations kicked off.
Dermot Dooley's side fought back from six points down after five minutes. Waterford minors Aaron O'Neill and Jack Twomey led the comeback from midfield. O'Neill shot four points from play (two in each half). Twomey totalled eight (seven frees) and drove at the CBC defence all afternoon.
All Ireland minor winner with Cork, Mikey Finn finished with ten points for the visitors.
