Disbelief and tears as Sion’s title bid ends

KEN MCGRATH fell to his knees and began to cry at the final whistle. Few could blame him. Fewer still would not have felt Mount Sion’s pain.

Even the new Munster champions, Toomevara lingered long to console their opponents in this amazing day at Semple Stadium.

For so long the masters, Mount Sion had victory snatched from them in the most cruel manner imaginable. Firstly they conceded a soft goal before McGrath’s effort for an equaliser sailed inches wide with what proved to be the penultimate puck of this dramatic decider.
