Feale hold Ardfert’s late flurry

Feale Rangers 3-9 Ardfert 1-11:

Leading by nine points at half-time, the divisional hosts seemed in cruise control, but Ardfert produced a rousing second half recovery and only for some poor shooting could well have pulled off an unlikely result.

Feale Rangers lined out without their inter-county stars Anthony Maher and Paul Galvin while Ardfert were missing six starters from the team that won the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship in February.
