‘Sloppy’ Sars make it count at the end

Sarsfields 0-14 Carrigdhoun 0-11

Five minutes of normal time remained when Ronan Walsh’s sixth point for the south-east division tied the game at 0-11 each, but the 2008, ’10 and ’12 county champions managed to seize victory despite a poor overall performance.

Cian McCarthy, who had earlier missed a penalty and some scoreable frees, kept his nerve to send over a fine dead-ball from his own 65 and then Eoin Quigley and Eoin O’Sullivan eased them into their biggest lead of the game.
