Séamus Sexton advanced in the Mother Hegarty Cup at Lyre after a big second last shot helped him fend off a late challenge from Patrick Flood.

The win will put to bed some of Sexton’s disappointment at losing the Munster final there against Michael Bohane at the very height of the July heatwave. Flood will have plenty of regrets. He had this contest under control after six and had he opened Crowley’s in two more it would have been hard to catch him.
