Creedon edges terrific joust with Sexton
Creedon got a good opener from the creamery cross. Sexton was too tight with his reply and though it rubbed the right it was 35m hind. He followed with a good bowl to Desmond’s, which Creedon just beat. Creedon increased his lead with his third. Sexton was 40m short of Slyne’s corner after a good fourth. Creedon also missed sight but beat that tip and the next.
Sexton then got a great seventh towards O’Riordan’s to lead by 40m. Creedon levelled to Collins’ and they both made the schoolhouse cross in ten, with Creedon just fore. Sexton got a great bowl towards the stonefield bend, but Creedon just edged it. They were locked together in the next four to the pub cross, where Sexton had an important five metre lead.
