Umpire jumps up in celebration after late goal in Harty Cup hurling clash

An umpire has gone viral for not being able to hide his emotions during a Harty Cup quarter-final after a late goal.

St Josephs, Tulla were in action against CBC and Cork side CBC were looking to make their third Harty Cup final in a row.

And the game, which took place in Kilmallock, looked to be going to plan for the hot favourites as they led by six points at the second water break.

But a stubborn St Josephs side rallied late with points from Ronan O'Connor and Dara Keogh late on.

And corner back Dara Ryan popped up late in the game to get on the end of a scrappy goal in the dying moments of the game.

The goal meant St Josephs, Tulla were able to run out two point winners but the score in question sent the umpire at the game leaping with joy.
