St Colman’s deliver in thriller
The Cork college, having led for the opening 45 minutes of yesterday’s thrilling contest, found themselves three points in arrears and reduced to 14 men as the clock ticked into the fourth minute of second-half stoppages.
In a desperate last throw of the dice, Fermoy, having won a free just inside the opposition 45-metre line, sent several green shirts onto the edge of the St Flannan’s square in a bid to conjure up the required major. Centre-forward Diarmuid Lenihan stood over the placed ball and, in the most dramatic fashion imaginable, his strike travelled all the way to the net. 3-13 to 2-16 now read the scoreboard. Extra-time.
