Ballycumber GAA Club.

Tullamore Court Hotel Offaly Senior B Football Championship.

Ballycumber 1-10   Tubber 0-12.

A dour first half finished all square at three points each. Two pointed frees by Cormac Quinn and a long range point by Colin Daly made up the Ballycumber total. While Tubber replied with three points from play and were unlucky not to have added at least one goal to their total. Leo Guinan prevented a goal bound shot from entering the net with a good save.

Ballycumber started the second half brightly and Cormac Quinn pointed two more frees in the first five minutes. Clive Keena replaced the injured Ritchie Dunne at half time and he added pace and determination to the half back line.

Tubber scored the next four points with two frees and two from play to regain the lead. Joe Lowry pointed a free for Ballycumber to stall the Tubber momentum briefly. An outstanding display of accuracy by Seanie Farrell added three more points to the Tubber total and they looked destined for victory leading 0-10 to 0-6.

Joe Lowry scored another point from a free to which Tubber replied with a point from play.

The introduction of Karl Daly and the Corcoran twins -Tom and John swung the play in favour of Ballycumber. Sean Hackett scored a great point while under severe pressure. Joe Lowry pointed a free and John Corcoran scored a badly needed point to narrow the gap to one point. A high ball into the Tubber goalmouth fell kindly for Nigel Grennan and he drilled the ball into the roof of the net with his right foot to give Ballycumber the lead. Tubber quickly moved the ball down the pitch and were awarded a free which was kicked over the bar to leave the final score at 1-10 to 0-12.
