February 17, 2018

The Harty Cup (Munster Post Primary Schools Senior 'A' Hurling Championship).

Ardscoil Ris produced an impressive performance to see off the challenge of Midleton CBS in today's Harty Cup decider.

The Limerick students prevailed on a scoreline of 3-18 to 2-10 with their goals coming from Rian Considine, Cathal O'Neill and Diarmuid Ryan.

The winners took a 2-7 to 0-6 lead into the break and Ryan's 44th minute goal effectively ended the game as contest.

That left Ardscoil Ris 3-11 to 0-7 to the good before Midleton netted a couple of consolation goals through Liam Gosnell and Joe Stack.

Centre-forward Paul O'Brien took the scoring honours for the winners with 0-8.
