Experience the key as Flynn powers Gunners to victory

Ballygunner 2-12 Garryspillane 1-11

Ballygunner’s vast experience of the Munster club championship scene was a hugely influential factor in their hard earned but richly deserved four-point victory over Garryspillane in a thrilling first round game at the Gaelic Grounds yesterday, earning them a semi-final date with Clarecastle on home soil on Sunday week

A disappointing attendance of 2,539 revelled in every minute of a contest that was waged with real championship intensity. Ultimately, the Gunners’ greater experience of occasions such as this carried the day, as exemplified by Fergal Hartley, Andy Moloney and Paul Flynn.
