Gibson late goal rallies Nenagh to victory over gallant Dunmanway

Nenagh VS 2-10 Maria Immaculata, Dunmanway 1-8

However, the Dunmanway students acquitted themselves extremely well in their inaugural appearance in a provincial hurling competition, and for a time scared the daylights out of their more fancied opponents.

When Dunmanway went a point in front for the first time coming up to the last quarter a surprise result appeared on the cards but, sensing danger, Nenagh pulled out all the stops when the need was greatest for a five-point triumph.
