Navan O’Mahonys to meet Wolfe Tones in decider
Favourites O’Mahonys recovered from a four-point deficit in the first half to wear down their opponents, Donaghmore/Ashbourne, and eventually clinch a 0-10 to 0-9 victory with a Paddy Smyth point on 59 minutes.
Sean Kelly, who guided O’Mahonys to their last Keegan Cup triumph in 2008, was in the opposition dugout yesterday and his side impressed in the first half with points from John Broderick and Andrew Tormey (free) in the opening five minutes. Tormey and roving forward Ciaran Ellis were impressing in the scoring stakes and Donaghmore/Ashbourne led 0-5 to 0-1 after 12 minutes. O’Mahonys, without county players Kevin Reilly, Mark Ward and David Bray, were forced to make two substitutions in the first half and another during the half-time break.
