Mullinahone boost as Eoin Kelly makes long-awaited return

Former All Star Eoin Kelly was back in action for Mullinahone after an extended lay-off, and helped guide them to a 1-21 to 2-16 win over Ballingarry in an exciting South Tipperary SHC semi-final at Fethard.

Eoin’s brother Paul had a goal for Mullinahone after 14 minutes but goals by Pádraig Hayes and Philip Ivers helped Ballingarry to lead 2-9 to 1-11 at the break.

Ballingarry extended their lead to three points early in the second half, but then five unanswered points sent Mullinahone clear and they held off Ballingarry’s best efforts to get on terms in an exciting finish. Mullinahone will meet Killenaule in the final.
