The first half played out tight enough, Lisdowney man Brian Kavanagh opening the scoring for Colaiste Mhuire who found themselves 0-04 to 0-02 up after 12 minutes, all scores coming from frees and by half time, the sides were level at 0-07 apiece.
Both sides went on to pick up another seven points each through out the second half, Johnstown leading by a point heading into injury time before Sean Currie rescued an equaliser for Ardscoil Ris to force extra time.
