Shane Guthrie’s extra-time goal seals win for Austin Stacks

Austin Stacks 2-9 Dr Crokes 0-13: Goals win matches, they say, and this was well and truly borne out at Connolly Park yesterday evening where Austin Stacks overcame Dr Crokes in the Credit Union Senior Football League Division 1 Final (2014) after a game that went to extra-time.

Stacks struck early, in fact from the throw-in; a long ball from Conor Jordan was flicked to the net by Kieran Donaghy past the advancing Alan Kelly.

Thereafter, the Kerry “Star” was double marked by Mike Moloney and the outstanding Eoin Brosnan. Stacks were playing with the fresh wind, but Dr Crokes fought back to be level by the 16th minute following points from Daithí Casey (free), Jordan Kiely, Colm Cooper (two frees) to one in reply from Shane Carroll.
