Glory for Boherbue as long wait ends

Boherbue 1-11 Robert Emmets 1-5: Boherbue ended a 29-year gap to capture the Duhallow U21AFC title from holders Robert Emmets in an exciting decider at Ballydemond last night.

At the end of the hour, the hungrier challengers possessed enough defensive clout, sharpness and an ability to carve out scoring opportunities to halt the march of the Newmarket and Lismire combination.

Emmets had put down a marker from the outset before Boherbue bossed proceedings that saw David O’Connor blast a penalty over the crossbar.
