Sars weather Templederry storm to seal place in final

Thurles Sarsfields 0-18 Templederry Kenyons 1-11

Sarsfields suffered a setback before the start when county star Lar Corbett had to withdraw with a leg injury, and it was indicative of the pressure the Thurles management were under that Corbett was introduced with 15 minutes to go.

Sarsfields were three points ahead at the time, but a rallying Templederry, who had hit four unanswered points in six minutes to cut a seven points deficit to three, were poised to cause a major upset.
