Wexford school comes from 26 points behind to win Leinster semi-final
A Wexford school has produced a stunning 30-point turnaround to win a Leinster B schools semi-final.
The first-year footballers of Enniscorthy CBS couldn't have expected anything but defeat when they trailed Coláiste Choilm Tullamore by 5-11 to no-score at half-time - a whopping 26-point deficit.
And in a match without a wind to favour either side.
But while Enniscorthy vowed to give everything in the second-half, their opponents took off some of their best players, and the lead began to fall.
By the time Tullamore began to bring their main-men back on, it was too late, and Enniscorthy ran out four-point winners, 11-1 to 6-12 - a total of 34 points to 30.
26 points is such a dangerous lead in football, only 9 kicks of a ball in it. Must be a record alright, fair play to all involved.

(Special kudos to the Enniscorthy player who decided to take his point)

At the very least, they'll know nothing is impossible when they go out to play Ashbourne in the final.
