Controversial Hurney goal swings it for Moycullen

A CONTROVERSIAL 48th minute goal by Moycullen corner-forward Christopher Hurney turned the Connacht intermediate hurling final in the Galway champions’ favour in Athleague yesterday.

Hurney was quickest to react to Niall Mannion’s effort for a point that appeared to drop over the crossbar but was batted back into play by Four Roads goalkeeper David Dowd. The sides were level before Hurney’s goal swung the momentum back in Moycullen’s favour.

Hurney completed his hat-trick in injury time when he blasted emphatically to the net.
