Ballyea living the dream

Gearóid O’Connell’s job on Sunday was to keep an eye on Patrick Horgan. Easier said than done, mind, given the latter’s form in progressing Glen Rovers to a first Munster final in four decades.

In between rendering Horgan scoreless from play, O’Connell roamed up Tom Semple’s field to deliver three outstanding points. He also provided the pass which put Pearse Lillis in the clear for the game’s opening goal.

That, in essence, is the level of confidence from which this Ballyea team is currently operating.
