Toomevara stage late rally to pip Templederry in thriller

Toomevara conjured up a dramatic late rally to pip outsiders Templederry 0-24 to 2-17 in a thrilling SHC round three tie at Nenagh.

Aided by the elements, Toome dominated the first half and led 0-16 to 0-8 at the interval. Benny Dunne and brother Kenny, who finished with a total of ten points, were outstanding. But Templederry fought back and had goals from the inspirational Gearoid Ryan and Padraig O’Leary to lead by a point with time running out.

Toome’s greater experience stood to them though and points by Darren Delaney and Willie Ryan put them in front when it mattered.
