Late O’Farrell strike rescues draw for Mary I

Mary Immaculate, Limerick 1-13 UCC 1-13

“I thought it was borderline unplayable, it was so soft,” said UCC manager Eddie Enright. “A great game in the circumstances.”

His Mary Immaculate counterpart, Eamon Cregan, accepted the criticism, then issued a plea. “The pitch was very poor but it’s the only pitch we have — if some wealthy benefactor wants to come forward and help us out we’d be more than grateful.”
