Glen find extra gear to edge out Barr’s for final spot

GLEN ROVERS will meet Na Piarsaigh in the final of the city division U21 hurling final after they beat St Finbarr’s in extra time at Ballinlough yesterday.

Leading by five points as the third quarter ended, the Glen looked to have surrendered the momentum as they allowed their rivals back into the game. Patrick Wiley’s goal for the Barrs closed the gap before they took control and they actually led courtesy of Eoin Finn’s free as the gave moved into injury time, Paul Virgo’s point rescuing the Glen.

Virgo was one of the Glen’s stars, scoring 1-7, with full-forward line colleagues Richard Whitty and Calvin Healy also impressing for them. James Mulcahy at corner-back also stood out for the Glen while Kerry U21 star Padraig Monson was excellent at midfield.
