Bennett strikes late for Lismore as Fourmilewater foiled again

HAVING already unluckily lost two group games in the Waterford SHC against Ballyduff Upper and Mount Sion, it was a case of the same old story for Fourmilewater at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, on Saturday evening when Lismore edged them out with a late point for a 0-18 to 1-14 victory.

Former county star Dave Bennett was the Lismore hero, coming off the bench in the closing quarter despite injury and firing over four priceless points, including the winner in added time.

The losers were good value for their 0-9 to 0-7 half-time lead, with Richie Fenton notching seven of those nine Fourmile points, and Maurice Shanahan scoring four for Lismore.
