Kanturk stave off Cullen in epic Duhallow Junior B football league decider
Kanturk 3-16 Cullen 2-14 (after extra-time) KANTURK held their nerve to overcome Cullen after extra time in a pulsating Nevin Cup Junior B Football League 1 Final at Millstreet on Sunday. At the end of 80 minutes plus, Kanturk prevailed in a massively entertaining contest and with the lead changing hands, it made for a terrific spectacle in the presence of a large attendance. All through Cullen were game and committed but a more balanced Kanturk availed of a productive return from their bench and utilised a numerical advantage in extra time to sway the outcome. The experienced Grantas Bucinskas gave Kanturk a head start with points from play and a free only for Cullen to reply from John Hickey and Colin Moynihan points. Kanturk held the upperhand for a spell, Dylan O'Connor, Christopher Mullane, Eoin Geaney, Bryan Healy and Bucinskas to the fore. And substitute Stephen Sheehan was quick to make an impression, his introduction yielded a goal. Cullen recovered from a shaky spell, right back in the hunt, Donncha O'Leary dribbled the ball right through the Kanturk defence for a peach of a goal to force parity, 1-4 apiece at the interval. On the restart, Kanturk took up the running, a second Sheehan goal helped push his side five points clear. Credit Cullen for responding positively to the challenge, driven on by Dermot Hickey, Daniel Murphy, Seamus Moynihan and Finn O'Dwyer. Upfront, O'Leary caught fire, a goal levelled the game before the Cullen talisman delivered a two pointer to grab a lead approaching the end of the hour. Kanturk reacted and in a last throw of the dice, Bucinskas showed composure to convert a free from outside the arc for parity at 2-11 to each side. Cullen lost Brian O'Connell and though down to 14 players, a two pointer from Daniel Murphy offered the perfect start to extra time. Kanturk responded swiftly and a Healy goal secured a 3-13 to 2-13 advantage. Into the second period, substitutes Ronan Cashman and Matthew Hootan added to the Kanturk tally. Though Kanturk 'keeper Jordan Fullerton picked up a second yellow card, Cullen's best efforts were repelled. KANTURK: J Fullerton; N Forde, D O'Connor, P Leahy; C Mullane, L Cashman, J Moylan; A Geaney, E Geaney 0-1; D Cronin, G Bucinskas 0-8, C Breen; D Quirke, B Healy 1-1, G Kenehen. Subs. S Sheehan 2-1, E O'Keeffe 0-3, O Daly, R Harrington, L Cashman 0-1, M Hootan 0-1. CULLEN: L Mullane, J Twomey, D Hickey, C O'Connor; D Morley, Daniel Murphy 0-2, J Hickey 0-1, F O'Dwyer 0-2, C Moynihan 0-1; L Hickey, D O'Riordan, B O'Connell; D O'Leary 2-7, M Twomey, David Murphy. Subs. C O'Riordan, C Drummond, S Moynihan, K Duggan 0-1.
