Match Preview

Ardscoil Rís will not underestimate their Tipperary opposition in what should be an extremely tight game. Templemore have displayed a true fighting spirit to advance this far and this was in evidence in the victory over Midleton CBS in the last round. In atrocious conditions, Brian Kennedy was the match-winner for Our Lady’s Templemore as his late point secured them a 2-5 to 0-10 success. Last year’s All-Ireland minor winner John McGrath is the driving force behind this team that combines sublime hurling with a strong physical presence. Ardscoil Rís, champions in 2010 and 2011, reached the last four for the fifth successive year with a 0-14 to 1-6 win over Doon CBS. Ronan Lynch and Michael Casey have been very effective in a half back line that is proving to be the foundation of this team. This game should go right to the wire, as a tight and tense encounter is expected.
