Late points earn win for Clonmel HS

Clonmel High School 2-11

The Tipperary side fell a point behind with seven minutes to go after surrendering an eight point lead, but Shanahan came to the rescue to give his side a title they last won in 1986.

In a game that was fiercely contested all through and well above the standard of B grade Clonmel, backed by the wind, stormed into a 2-2 to nil lead inside the opening 10 minutes, Shanahan grabbing the two goals, and Bandon looked to be in for a drubbing.
