Inspired Moran fires Ahane to showdown

NIALL MORAN scored nine points but it was Seanie O’Connor’s goal just before half time that eventually proved decisive and put Ahane back into the Limerick Live 95FM county SHC final for the first time in four years.

Garryspillane were always going to have to produce something special to win this one and they almost did as Ahane took their foot off the pedal in the closing minutes of an entertaining semi-final that was not the one-sided affair many expected.

It was O’Connor’s injury time goal that separated the sides (1-8 to 0-8) at the end of a close first half.
