Craughwell 0-21
Liam Mellows 2-14
Loughrea 0-21
St Thomas’ 2-15
IT WAS A double-header at Kenny Park where controversy proved the order of the day as the Galway senior hurling championship reached the quarter-final stage.
In the opener, Craughwell led by three points at the break having been much the better team in the opening period but Liam Mellows conjured an excellent second-half showing and racked up 2-07.
Tadhg Horan tallied 11 points – five of them from play – and had the chance to force a replay with a 25m free.
But, agonisingly for him, he put the effort wide and Craughwell held out to claim victory by the narrowest of margins and make it through to the final four.
In today’s second quarter-final, the spoils between Loughrea and St. Thomas’ were shared after a controversial finale.
With the teams level, referee Ger O’Connor blew the full-time whistle just as James Regan’s effort sailed over the bar. The score would’ve given Thomas’ the victory but it was over-ruled and the sides must meet again.
Hopefully United slip up again. Even a draw. Looking forward to the next few weeks. Come on City.
:D
Bad results tonight for Villa – 5 teams now in the battle to avoid final 2 relegation places as Wolves are gone. Has any manager ever been relegated from PL in consecutive seasons with different clubs…. McLeish may b the first.
Another twist in the race for the title, its not over at all yet. The manchester derby will be huge.
United played s***e tonight. Two tough games coming up Against Aston Villa and Everton
C’mon the R’s
Yup Utd looked so poor tonite. No ideas. Against Wigan???
