Fermoy dig deep to edge Kilworth in cracking derby
Demonstrating all that is good about the game, this first round Premier IHC derby battle had it all. Amid 34 scores and seven goals, Fermoy dug deepest to come from five points down to win by two with as many minutes remaining.
Two goals and a point they nailed in those hectic moments — a penalty by excellent sharp-shooter Liam Coleman for a foul on Jack Hutchings, a green flag from Tomás Clancy and a point in stoppage time from full- forward Hutchings. But, it wasn’t the first time they had fallen behind — they trailed in the opening half, and found themselves six points behind at the three-quarter stage.
