Upperchurch go the extra to shock Loughmore
Noel McGrath’s injury-time point for Loughmore sent the game to extra-time, with the sides tied on 1-17 each.
Upperchurch held the initiative early on but Loughmore had an Evan Sweeney goal after 21 minutes to keep them in the hunt. Still Upperchurch led at the interval 0-12 to 1-7 but would face the breeze in the second-half. Four Loughmore points at the start of the second-half pushed them ahead but Colin Ryan’s goal after 41 minutes restored Upperchurch’s lead. In a hectic finish, McGrath was Loughmore’s saviour with an injury time point to level.
