Maurice Shanahan scores 1-9 as Lismore claim Munster title

The Waterford side dismissed Kerry’s Kilmoyley in the intermediate decider.

Lismore (Waterford) 2-14
Kilmoyley (Kerry) 0-13

WATERFORD STAR MAURICE Shanahan scored 1-9 as Lismore claimed the Munster Club IHC title at Mallow on Saturday afternoon.

With the sides level at half-time 0-7 each, the Waterford champions asserted themselves on the resumption, with Shanahan sending over a free for his fifth point before a long clearance found its way through to Peter O’Keeffe, who cleverly flicked the ball home.

That gave the Tony Browne-coached side a cushion they were never likely to relinquish but in the 40th minute Shanahan found the net, with a beautiful dink over Kilmoyley goalkeeper Aiden McCabe.

Shortly before the second goal, the Kerry senior champions’ captain McCabe had saved brilliantly to deny Jordan Shanahan a goal and in the first half he also produced a great stop from Dan Shanahan.

From the 65 that resulted, Shanahan’s brother Maurice pushed Lismore 0-4 to 0-2 in front but two points from Kilmoyley’s main man Daniel Collins had them level again. Collins would end up scoring all of Kilmoyley’s output, but crucially goal chances remained at a premium for them.

They battled hard in the first half though and though an excellent Maurice Shanahan free put Lismore 0-7 to 0-5 in front with half-time approaching, Collins had them level by half-time, their supporters giving them a standing ovation as they went in.

Lismore roared out of the blocks on the resumption though and always looked the likelier winners.

    Heysel hurt Everton more than any other English club. Denied their greatest side a chance to compete in Europe.

    @@TJPPK: as an Everton fan I can tell ya that damage is still felt at the club today to an extent. We aren’t bitter about it in the slightest but sometimes ya can’t help but wonder what could have been if it wasn’t for a bunch of hooligans that night, not just for Everton but for all English sides after that

    @Philip Mckenna: They lost 1-0 to a penalty that wasn’t, which was to possibly appease the Juve fans. Liverpool couldn’t exactly go out and try to win the game after what had happened. We had a great side too, and we were defending European champions.

    I remember watching that game in my teens, shocking shocking scenes, as a Liverpool supporter myself and everyone at the time expected some sort of violence but what unfolded was surreal, the bodies on the field both captains trying to calm the fans before the game resumed, the subsequent inquiry about the state of the stadium, how opposing sets of fans occupying places in the neutral zone, but most of all the dead and injured fans who in the main went out to watch what should have been a great game of ball, and not least the disappointment and disbelief that a section of the Liverpool support caused the mayhem, I recall telling my uncle at the time “this is not why I support Liverpool” coz fu@k it people all them poor souls just went to watch a game of ball and never made it home.

    More likely should be called 2 classes of supporters. 1 the normal decent supporters, 2 the thugs. And most people will remember those thugs ringleaders were from upper class bankers,office workers and other financial institutions looking for kicks total animals

    The night it happened, I was 13 years old and I decided to never have anything to do with that game ever again.

    Haven’t watched another soccer match since.

    The way in which thatcher is vilified in articles like this is getting tedious. Granted, she wasn’t universally popular and her record in Ireland is appalling, but you would think sometimes that she was a tinpot dictator like Putin rather than a democratically elected leader who comfortably won three elections in a row. If she represented the minority, why did a majority back her? Are all British voters essentially fascist? Or did they remember the utter disasters of a union dominated labour administration? Could it be that a significant number of the sainted working class actually supported her? No, surely not.

    @kevin: I couldn’t agree more Kevin but at the time all clubs had somewhat of an hooligan element and I can’t condone that, however not the clubs as such but those whos fans, patrticuary those with a strong Irish connection ie Liverpool, Utd, Birmingham, Everton did face a lot of bias to be fair and again it doesn’t justify what happened at games it was just a reflection of the times.
