Thurles jubilant as they finally lower Flannans’ colours

Thurles CBS 0-14 St Flannans 0-11

1992 was the last time Thurles lowered Flannans' colours in the Harty Cup so it was easy to understand the scenes of jubilation.

Seven times these two evenly matched sides were level before Thurles finally pulled away in the closing minutes. The victory was all the more meritorious as the winners had lost the services of influential midfielder Joe Dixon with 10 minutes to go.
