St Finbarr’s Edge Clonmel Commercials in Thriller, Set for Semi-Final
St Finbarr’s Edge Clonmel Commercials in Thriller, Set for Semi-Final
St Finbarr’s advanced to the AIB Munster Club SFC semi-final after a dramatic 1-17 to 2-11 quarter-final victory over Tipperary champions Clonmel Commercials at Clonmel Sportsfield.
The Cork champions needed a strong finish to overcome a determined Commercials side. St Finbarr’s relied heavily on the scoring accuracy of **Steven Sherlock**, who delivered an outstanding **0-9** total, including several crucial frees that punished Clonmel’s indiscipline.
Commercials were resilient, finding the net through Cian Smith in the first half and then again through Seán O’Connor late in the second half, which gave the hosts a two-point lead with 14 minutes left. However, the Barrs’ midfield charge, led by William Buckley and captain Ian Maguire, proved decisive. A key late point from super-sub Cillian Myers-Murray and the final scores from Buckley and Maguire secured the narrow three-point victory for St Finbarr’s.
Final Score: St Finbarr’s 1-17, Clonmel Commercials 2-11.
