Gunners floored by late Tallow surge
Not a high quality game, but Tallow’s second half surge was too powerful for the Gunners and in the end the victory went deservedly to the outsiders.
The early sequences were so totally dominated by Ballygunner that Tallow followers must have been fearing a rout. As early as the fifth minute, Paul Flynn brilliantly set up Gearoid O’Connor for a fine goal. But with James Murray giving a five-star display at centre back and the accurate freetaking of teenager Thomas Ryan also reaping a tidy dividend, Tallow were just four points adrift, 1-6 to 0-5, at the interval.
