Healy strikes late to deliver desert delight

THE seaside in Salthill is the only sand the Munster hurlers will see this spring after they blew a seven points lead in the final quarter of this M Donnelly Interpro semi-final at Pearse Stadium on Saturday.

Instead, it will be John McIntyre’s Connacht who will be heading to Abu Dhabi for a final date with Leinster next month after an unlikely comeback at Pearse Stadium on Saturday.

It wasn’t exactly desert storm stuff but the introduction of Kevin Hynes and Cyril Donnellan to the predominantly Galway backboned side, injected sufficient influence around the middle of the field for Niall Healy and Aongus Callanan to net the scores.
