Athlone CC 1-7 Salesian, Celbridge 0-9
A CONOR Mulry goal deep into second-half stoppage time gave Athlone Community College a dramatic one-point victory at Celbridge yesterday afternoon.
A second point from the excellent Ronan Byrne on the stroke of 60 minutes looked like it had sealed Salesians place in the next round, but Mulry had other ideas, as he finished low past Salesians netminder Seán Holmes
