Experience was the key, says Garrycastle manager

A SEASONED Garrycastle had the necessary know-how to chisel out a hard-earned victory over a youthful Athy at Newbridge yesterday, and book their place in the Leinster Club SFC final.

Mick Foley was back for Athy and he lined out at left corner-back on Patrick Mulvihill, with Dessie Dolan being tracked by 17-year-old David Hyland.

Hyland was very good in the first-half but his wily opponent still had an influence and was outstanding in the second-half, along with his cousin James and midfielder Seánie O’Donohue.
