Hurley the hero as Courceys earn replay

AN injury-time point by Vincent Hurley earned Courcey Rovers a deserved draw in a magnificent Evening Echo Premier IHC first round tie at Riverstick last night.

This was one of the great games of hurling, played by two superbly fit teams and thankfully there were no winners because followers will never tire of watching hurling championship games of this standard.

Local derbies rarely live up to their billing, but this all-Carrigdhoun clash was the exception. Both teams went all out for the win and produced a superb contest that was level seven times.
