Byrne keeps Abbey at bay as Doon taste victory
And it was just as well that the Limerick side began in such fashion as Abbey CBS from Tipperary made them fight all the way with a spirited display, particularly in the second-half.
In those opening exchanges Doon, powered by an outstanding half-back line in George Allis, Denis Moloney and Andrew Hickey made most of the running, and by the 15th minute they had notched 1-5 with Abbey’s only response being a surprise goal from a 35 yards free by Timmy Dalton.
