Video: 'Finished The Leaving Cert There At 5 O'Clock, Thankfully I Made It On Time'

Waterford progressed to the semi-finals of the Munster U21 Hurling Championship with a ten point win over Cork at Páirc Uí Rinn.

Shane Bennett scored 1-4 of the Deise's total and was awarded Man of the Match for his efforts.

Speaking to TG4's Micheal O'Domhnail when receiving the award, he elaborated on a busy day.

Bennett completed his Leaving Cert at 5pm and then, with the help of his mother, made the trip to Cork for the 7.30pm throw-in.

Yeah it's a great result now for us.

Finished the Leaving Cert there at five o'clock and just straight up. My mother brought me up and thankfully I made it on time.

Shane's mother should get a medal if Waterford win the Munster U21 title this year.
