O’Connor makes Stacks pay the penalty

Kenmare 0-15 Austin Stacks 1-10

Darragh Long, who scored the only goal of a tightly-fought encounter midway through the first-half, stepped up to take the kick, but saw his effort came back off a post and Kenmare goalkeeper, Steve O’Sullivan safely smothered the rebound.

If Stacks had prevailed, it would have been rough justice on a determined home side, who were never headed once they took the lead through a Paul O’Connor seventh minute free.
