'The hurley split down the middle' - Brendan Maher describes wonder-point that capped off Borris win

It was a score that capped another magnificent display by Maher as he and his teammates qualified for the All-Ireland club final in a fortnight’s time.

Borris-Ileigh man of the match Brendan Maher confirmed that he hit his last point with a broken hurley in his side’s win over St Thomas’. The Tipperary star helped put the game to bed with a late point, even if he only had half a hurley in his hand.

“It broke from the bottom of the grip, it split down the middle. I had the poll side, half the hurley, it was fairly mould to try to put it over, I could have missed it just as easily.”
