Hogan inspires Rathnure to thrilling victory

Rathnure 2-14, Oulart-the-Ballagh 2-9

Rathnure led 1-3 to 0-3 after 10 minutes with Hogan getting the first of his two goals, but a Rory Jacob goal hauled Oulart back into contention after 20 minutes at which stage they led by a point, (1-5 to 1-4).

But the champions kept their composure and were rewarded when Hogan fired home his second goal two minutes before the break to leave his side with a 2-7 to 1-5 interval lead.
