    Is this a first? Not like Iarnród Éireann to oblige

    De La Salle continue their epic adventure
    TOM HUMPHRIES at Parnell Park, Dublin
    Mon, Feb 23, 2009
    ALL-IRELAND CLUB HURLING SEMI-FINAL De La Salle 1-21 Ruairí Óg, Cushendall 1-19 (AET – 1-13 to 1-13 after normal time): DAYS LIKE these are at the heart of it. The big guns were rattling elsewhere. Ruairí Óg’s of Cushendall were coming off a long run of losing All-Ireland club semi-finals, De La Salle of Waterford were on their first ever adventure outside the county borders.
    Either way there was going to be some romance and a twist of heartbreak. That we got a great game of hurling at Parnell Park yesterday was a bonus.
    Afterwards John Mullane, perhaps his club’s best-known star stood on the field and reflected that “for a club like us to reach Croke Park on the 125th anniversary year, it is some honour”.
    Mullane had certified his side’s ticket to the big dance with a point in the 81st minute which ended this epic game.
    De la Salle had brought a train-load of supporters to Donnycarney, persuading Iarnród Éireann to open the lines as far as Killester so that the faithful had just a short walk at the end of their pilgrimage.
