Kinsella stars as Old Leighlin edge Tinryland

OLD LEIGHLIN won the Conlon Cup for the third time before 4,000 spectators at Dr Cullen Park yesterday.

Tinryland, seeking a 16th title, were thrown a lifeline in injury-time when Evan Doyle’s goal cut the lead to a point. They fought for a leveller but fell just short.

Old Leighlin led 1-3 to 0-2 at the interval, the goal coming from star man Seamus Kinsella. The holders were denied a second on half-time through a superb double save from county senior goalie Trevor O’Reilly.
