Forward thinking proves key

SARSFIELDS are county champions for the second time in three seasons because they had a bit more scoring potential up front than Glen Rovers.

The Glen men needed more of a return from their inside line inparticular to be in with a chance of winning this one; in a game that could be described as a tame affair, however, two good points fromTadhg Óg Murphy as the gamedrew to a close dragged Sars over the line.

However, the crucial score came from Sars’ excellent defender Conor O’Sullivan in the 11th minute. He struck a free from his own half-back line which dropped into the Glen net past hapless ‘keeper Cathal Hickey.
