Last-gasp Rea earns Vincent’s replay

St. Vincent’s 3-10 Kilbrittain 1-16

The Jack Barrett Memorial Park was no place for the faint hearted as both sides slugged it out to the bitter end. Three St. Vincent’s players were yellow carded but a stricter referee would have taken sterner action for a number of unsavoury incidents.

After the sides were level at a point apiece, Kilbrittain, with a strong wind to their backs, looked like opening daylight between the sides when Alan Hayes, Edward Sheehy and Dan O’Connell powered the Carbery representatives into a 0-6 to 0-1 lead at the end of the opening quarter.
