Shanahan turns it on for Lismore

A VIRTUOSO display by the outstanding Maurice Shanahan propelled Lismore to an impressive win over neighbours Ballyduff Upper in an exciting Waterford SHC quarter-final at Fraher Field, Dungarvan yesterday.

Shanahan turns it on for Lismore

Shanahan was unerring from both play and frees, ending with 1-10, while his more celebrated brother Dan also impacted influentially with four quality first-half points. Ironically, it was Ballyduff who had the better start with Michael Molumphy scoring their lone goal inside three minutes after his brother Stephen had done all of the spadework. The remainder of the half, however, Lismore dominated, with the superlative scoring exploits of the Shanahan brothers the highlight.

Their goal in the 14th minute came from a 20 metre free which Maurice crashed past thedefensive wall, and with the points flowing from every angle Ballyduff were clearly in trouble.
