Supersub Lawlor keeps Sars alive

Thurles Sarsfields 0-14 Mullinahone 0-14

Mullinahone looked to be on the verge of an historic first title when they led by six points entering the final quarter. But when all seemed lost, Thurles Sarsfields stormed back from the brink to draw the game with a point from substitute Pat Lawlor two minutes into injury-time.

To say that Mullinahone were devastated at the quite extraordinary turn of events would be an understatement. They were totally gutted and now face a severe test of character going into next Sunday’s replay at a venue still to be decided.
