Ballygunner edge out Lismore
Ballygunner now face De La Salle in a what will be a virtual all-city final for the first time. However, for an exciting spell in the second-half, a Lismore win was on the cards as, after trailing 1-11 to 1-7 at half time, they held Ballygunner scoreless for 17 minutes of spectacular hurling. It saw them draw level in the 40th minute, take the lead for the first time two minutes later and then stretch it to two points. That was the wake-up call for Ballygunner and the man who answered was substitute Paul Flynn who stepped in to rattle the net for the second time.
He was introduced in place of full-forward Darragh O’Sullivan in the 19th minute and he was less than four minutes on the field when he had the ball in the back of the net.
