Presentation College into All-Ireland Hurling Semi-Final
Presentation College Athenry advanced to the Masita All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Croke Cup Semi-Finals after a cracking second-half display against St. Flannan’s (Ennis) at Gort GAA Grounds. Level at 1-07 to 0-10 at the interval and facing a stiff wind the Pres gradually took control in in the second period.
The decisive score a goal by Ciarán Leen came after Jason Rabbitte won possession and and set up the Craughwell man who rattled the net. Both players had a huge influence on the result with Presentation College, despite a slow start, proving too strong for Tony Kelly’s side and were impressive winners. Final Score: Presentation College 1-19 St. Flannan's 1-14.
