O’Leary inspires Cill na Martra
The county player, who lined out at centre-back, stood out with his clean fielding and his contribution of two vital points – the first levelled the game and the second a couple of minutes later gave them back the initiative at a time when they were being given a searching test approaching the fourth quarter.
Even though Aghabullogue didn’t raise a flag until the 23rd minute, and were three points in arrears at the break, a well struck penalty from Patrick Finnegan immediately after the restart put them in a great position. But when a second penalty by the same player 10 minutes later came back off the post and then struck the goalkeeper for a 45m, their luck seemed to be out.
