How Jason Flynn kept his head in Croker cauldron

Were it not for Eugene Cloonan, Jason Flynn probably wouldn’t have tried his luck from the Cusack Stand side with three seconds of normal time remaining.

Trailing 3-16 to 0-24, Flynn broke onto a wayward James Barry clearance hit out towards the Cusack Stand in attempting to shake off the close attention of Tipp sub Conor O’Mahony.

Less than a metre from the sideline, the 20-year old tied proceedings with a most audacious effort. It would serve as his most important contribution in a game where he finished with 0-5.
