Story of the game:

65mins: Clonmore 1-18 O'Hans 0-5 - after a quiet Third Quarter, Clonmore finished the game with a flurry of points from Jamie (2), Sean T, sub Larry Doyle and Owen Coleman. Shane McGrath put the icing on the cake with a goal in the last minute after Jamie Walsh had brought a point blank save from the excellent Blues keeper, Anthony Core, and Owen Coleman had rattled the crossbar.
This was a well deserved win for the Clonmore Juniors who continued their good form from last year. They are a well balanced team with a nice blend of youth and experience and the fact that 9 players got on the scoresheet tonight is encouraging. Hopes are high that they can bring home some silverware in 2021.
