Fri, Mar 24, 2023

The hosts held on to their slender lead right until the third minute of injury time when Nathan Reilly-Doyle netted for Ballyheane and looked like it he was going to send the game into extra time, but Cunningham held his nerve to squirt the ball under the body of Luca Meldrum and to the back of the net to seal the win for his side.
