Plunkett’s miss glory chance
Leading by two points with six minutes to go and the wind at their backs, Plunkett’s were reined in by two Crokes scores but would still have been winners had it not been for four wides and the width of a crossbar.
Captain Garreth Smith saw his shot cannon back off the woodwork. There were only 90 seconds left to play when ‘Nestie’ let fly from 20 yards and he will no doubt be ruing his decision not to dink his effort over the bar instead.
