Glen outclass Rovers to stay on double trail
It may have been a year down the road, but the Blackpool lads showed they still have an appetite for success and now it's a local derby clash with city champions Na Piarsaigh to decide the destiny of the 2002 league trophy.
A tremendous midfield display from Keith McCarthy went a long way to winning the game for the Glen, who were pushed hard in the first-half and enjoyed just a slim 0-7 to 0-5 half-time lead. And when Brian Canty brought it down to a point with a free just after the restart it looked game on. But the Innishannon lads failed to score again thanks to some strong and solid hurling around midfield and Dave Busteed's late goal merely put a gloss on a workmanlike Glen victory.
