TJ REID’S HAUL of 10 points wasn’t enough to secure victory for Ballyhale Shamrocks, as their Kilkenny SHC quarter-final against Clara ended in a draw after a thrilling encounter.
Liam Ryan’s 57th minute strike from distance ultimately ensured the game would go to a replay, although opponents Ballyhale had three definite chances to close out the game in added time.
Kilkenny midfielder Michael Fennelly was among those to get a scoring opportunity for Ballyhale at the death, but he hit his shot wide just before the final whistle.
Fennelly did finish the game with a point to his credit, as the tie finished up 2-14 apiece.
