Charleville have the extra edge
There was added drama at the death as shouts of joy from the Éire Óg supporters turned to cries of despair when they realised referee Derek Carroll had blown his final whistle seconds before Cathal Murphy rattled the Charleville net with what appeared to be the match-winning score after Kevin Hallissey’s free had been blocked.
This game seemed destined for extra-time throughout as the sides were level five times over the hour. However, some magnificent scores in the extra period from Mervyn and Paul Gammell did just enough to see Charleville over the line.
