The fixation is on the Ballygunner result. A fixture they were not expected to win opened the door to new and previously not-pondered opportunities.

The consensus is that the Ballygunner result changed Sars’ season. Manager Johnny Crowley’s chair is not among the consensus. His fixation is on the result of two weeks earlier. It is the Feakle victory that saved their season and possibly his job along with it.
