Lismore pile woe on Mount Sion
Troubled times indeed for Mount Sion, and a second successive defeat leaves their championship aspirations hanging by a thread. By contrast Lismore are now safely through to the last eight and on this display could take a lot of beating.
Twice the sides exchanged points in the early sequences before Maurice Shanahan, younger brother of Dan, crashed home the game’s only goal on the quarter-hour to give Lismore a lead they would never again surrender. With the two Shanahans in top form the Mount Sion defence was under constant pressure and the winners were well worth their 1-8 to 0-6 half time lead.
