Ardscoil Rís, Limerick and St Kieran's, Kilkenny progress to the final.
Ardscoil Rís, Limerick and St Kieran's, Kilkenny will contest the All-Ireland Colleges SH 'A' Championship final on St Patrick's Day.
It will be a fourth Croke Cup decider and first since 2016 for Ardscoil Rís after they recovered from a slow start to defeat Leinster champions Good Counsel, New Ross 2-17 to 0-15 in Bansha yesterday with Shane O'Brien shooting 1-7.
The Limerick students led by 1-7 to 0-9 at half-time and David Kennedy netted their second goal near the end to round off an impressive win.
Meanwhile, St Kieran's proved too strong for St Joseph's, Tulla on a 3-16 to 1-11 scoreline in Nenagh.
Goals from Donagh Murphy and Brian Dowling (2) helped the record 23-time winners to a comfortable 11-point victory.
Just four points separated the sides at the interval, Harty Cup holders Tulla trailing by 0-9 to 0-5, but St Kieran's turned up the heat on the resumption.
