Stacks caught between Rock and hard place

AIB MUNSTER CLUB SFC SEMI-FINAL:

Austin Stacks were the manifestly superior team once they had reeled in Ballincollig’s early six- point advantage, but their inefficiency in snuffing out the visitors in the closing stages made for a fraught afternoon in their hometown of Tralee.

It took the 20 minutes of extra-time to convince Stacks that Ballincollig were all punched out and that the Tralee side had the artillery to shoot for home. But by that stage, the game had taken on such a shapeless feel no-one was sure about anything any more.
