Glen Rovers escape to victory

From the wave of electricity that rolled down from the stand on 59 minutes when Carrigtwohill’s Tomás Hogan hit his seventh free to put his side ahead, to the depths of disappointment two minutes later, Niall Kidney’s charges left Páirc Uí Rinn Saturday night knowing this was a result snatched from their grasp. They couldn’t but feel short-changed.
