Lehane steals show as Magpies soar again
On the basis of yesterday’s performance in damp and dusky Pairc Ui Chaoimh there is surely at least one more name about to be added to that pantheon of greats — Conor Lehane.
Sarsfields came into this final as title-holders, champions in three of the last five years, a host of experienced tried-and-trusted warriors. They hit the ground running too, a point after just 10 seconds from super-accurate county midfielder Daniel Kearney, a goal from another Cork panellist, the giant Michael Cussen four minutes later, putting them 1-2 to 0-2 clear by the fifth minute.
