Cummins’ goal crucial as Gort edge Saints for final ticket

A game which was played in a downpour in Kenny Park in Athenry never ignited until Cummins lashed the ball to the net one-handed after a powerful run from Aidan Harte carved opened the St Thomas rearguard. And in the ensuing nine minutes of injury-time all St Thomas could reply with was a point from wing-back Darragh Burke.
