Ardfert show class in impressive win

DESPITE missing a penalty after just five minutes, Ardfert kept their composure to beat Mullinahone in the Munster IFC semi-final at Cahir yesterday.

After Mullinahone had edged their way into an early lead with a point from centre-forward Edwin O’Meara, excellent referee Rory Hickey justifiably awarded Ardfert a penalty when wing forward John Egan was taken down after receiving an inch-perfect pass from Eamon Ferris.

However, full-forward Stephen Wallace shot tamely at goalkeeper Noel Leahy, who had no difficulty in dealing with the penalty.
