Flannan’s survive late controversy to deny Árd Scoil victory

St Flannan’s (Ennis) 0-15 Árd Scoil Rís (Limerick) 2-9

It was nearly four minutes into injury-time, teams tied, when Árd Scoil Rís substitute Brendan O’Connor grabbed a well-placed Kevin Downes centre on the edge of the Flannan’s square. With Flannan’s full-back and captain Cillian Ryan in close attendance, O’Connor twisted this way and that as he chased a winning score.

Nothing opened up, however, and suddenly he was on the deck. Referee Willie Barrett, however, wasn’t impressed. O’Connor was dispossessed, and as the ball was cleared, the final whistle sounded.
