Erin’s Own pip Tullaroan to last eight spot

Two second-half goals helped Erin’s Own (Castlecomer) grab the last spot in the Kilkenny senior hurling quarter-final draw after they beat Tullaroan by 2-18 to 1-20 on Sunday evening.

Shane Feehan and Eoin Brennan nabbed the goals that pushed Liam Dowling’s side into a 2-16 to 1-16 lead midway through the second half. Although Tullaroan would level things up with a series of Shane Walsh frees either side of the water-break, the goals gave ’Comer the spur to kick on. Late points from Feehan and James Mullins did the trick, helping them edge a tight game.
