Shane McGuigan breaks Summerhill hearts

St Pat’s Maghera 2-14 Summerhill, Sligo 3-10: St. Pat’s Maghera are through to the Hogan Cup final after staging a late comeback to edge past a devastated Summerhill College Sligo team at Brewster Park in Enniskillen yesterday afternoon.

The Derry lads looked set for a comfortable victory when they led by seven points early on. But despite having Sean Power sent off, Summerhill hit back and the Connacht champions were three points in front with normal time up.

Then Maghera won a penalty which Francis Kearney converted, before man-of-the-match Shane McGuigan took his personal haul to 1-8 with the winning point from a free deep into injury-time. Winning manager Paul Hughes was jubilant after a game that was played at a frantic pace.
