Late points lift Tallow as 10 wides cost Reds

Tallow 1-13 Ballyduff Upper 0-15

An experienced back line defended in uncompromising fashion throughout, with the full-back trio of Mark and David O’Brien alongside Ken Kearney putting their markers under persistent pressure. Up front, Robert O’Sullivan, Thomas Ryan and Evan Sheehan all shone.
