Sensational lash shot win for Sexton

Edmund Sexton will feature in the Hurley’s of Midleton King of the Roads for the first time since 2003 following his sensational last shot win over David Murphy in the semi-final of the Mick Barry Cup at Ballincurrig.

He edged the first three throws towards Geary’s. Murphy won the shots to the creamery. He took a big lead with his next to the top of the acre after Sexton had played his too low on the left. Sexton just made the no-play line with his sixth and Murphy went to Heaphy’s to go almost a bowl in front.

Sexton’s shot from the line lodged in the right hand bank to leave a full shot between them. Nothing changed to O’Riordan’s. Sexton got a good bowl up the long straight, but Murphy beat it to stay a bowl in front. Sexton won the shots to Leahy’s; they both missed the big corner from there.
