Shannon back on track

Shannon Schools 1-14, St Finbarr’s, Farranferris 1-12

Pipped at the post in their opening game by Our Lady’s, Templemore, the Shannon students looked in dire trouble when they fell six points in arrears after the opening quarter of a splendid contest.

But under the inspirational guidance of team captain Damien Browne, Shannon clawed their way back and held out in the end, after a 20-metre free attempt for a goal by Farranferris goalkeeper Richard O’Keeffe was stopped on the line in the last second of normal time.
