Grogan points the way for Aherlow

BARRY GROGAN scored ten points as last year’s runners-up Aherlow booked their place in this year’s Tipperary SFC final on November 7.

Grogan’s haul included seven frees and the west divisional champions held on for a gritty win after county team-mate Ciaran McDonald was sent off for a second bookable offence seven minutes from time.

At half-time, the sides were level at 1-3 to 0-6 as Cahir hit 1-1 within a minute before the break, the goal scored by Dean Lonergan, after they had gone 29 minutes without a score.
