Fracas mar Gunners' victory

Ballygunner 2-15 Lismore 2-13

Only the speedy intervention of uniformed gardaí averted a much more serious situation while a prominent former referee who ran to the assistance of the official was struck by a hurley on the head.

Lismore will long bemoan this defeat. For most of the game they were the better side and looked probable winners but three second-half dismissals proved their undoing as the Gunners scored a brace of points that decided the issue deep into added time.
