Edmond Sexton edges past Aidan Murphy in cup thriller

Edmond Sexton claimed his place in the Mother Hegarty Cup final in Lyre after a thrilling last shot win over Aidan Murphy.

He made an impressive start going past the forestry entrance in two super bowls, while Murphy just beat the soccer pitch in two.

Sexton pressed on with two more huge bowls to the tunnel. Murphy stemmed the tide with a brilliant fourth to cut the lead to just 50m. Murphy lost ground again when he took two more throws to reach Crowley’s wall. Sexton quickly stretched his lead to almost a bowl by making Crowley’s bend in seven.
