Sensational NUIG end the wait
They did it in heart-stopping fashion with Clare’s precocious attacker John Conlon rifling over the winning point in the 82nd minute after a tremendous catch and offload by sub Shane Quinlan. It ended an energy-sapping two days of hurling for NUIG as they once more required the medium of extra-time to push over the finishing line in first place.
The manner of NUIG’s victory was sensational. For the opening two-thirds they looked bereft of ideas and their lethargy contributed to a low-key encounter in comparison to Friday’s fireworks spectacular against LIT in Dangan.
