Charleville ‘over the moon’ after thrilling win in Purcell decider

All-Ireland pennants are very hard to come by so Charleville were overjoyed when they claimed their second win in the AIG Pierce Purcell Shield since 2006 with a heart-stopping 3-2 over Castlebar at a wet and windy Westport.

It all came down to the match three where Paddy O’Kelly and Ciaran Herlihy beat John Quigley and Carl Rose on the 19th to seal a hard-fought victory.
