written by Chris McNulty March 24, 2018

Coláiste Ailigh endured the most painful agony in their All-Ireland D final clash with St Cuan’s College this afternoon.

Despite being reduced to 13 men, Coláiste Ailigh, who trailed by seven points, staged a stunning comeback to turn the tide.

Sean McNulty’s goal seemed destined to give Coláiste Ailigh a heroic and historic win – but two Odhrán Loughrey frees in added time meant it wasn’t to be.
