\n Tracton 2-23 Cloughduv 3-16\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
Tracton conjured up a remarkable late comeback to defeat Cloughduv in a pulsating Co-Op Superstores Premier Junior Hurling Championship encounter at Belgooly on Saturday.<\/p>\n
With 11 minutes remaining, a Jack Kelleher shot rebounded to Eoin McNabola, who cracked the sliotar to the net. Two further points had the Muskery side ahead by 3-16 to 1-18. But Tracton just don\u2019t know when they are beaten.<\/p>\n
Points from Aaron Lyons and the outstanding Cian Quinn (2) narrowed the margin to 3-16 to 1-21 as time ticked away.<\/p>\n
Incredible drama followed, as Cathal Lowney put Tracton into the lead on 60 minutes with a brilliant finish. A shell-shocked Cloughduv side had no answer as Tracton completed an extraordinary comeback.<\/p>\n
Cloughduv started brightly with Brian and Mark Verling both pointing. Tracton were level on seven minutes thanks to two Quinn frees, led through John Good before Stephen O’Donoghue sent over a huge free from inside his own half to tie up again.<\/p>\n
Aaron Lyons and Michael O’Sullivan nabbed neat points before Mark Verling (2) and O’Donoghue pushed the Mid Cork outfit three up.<\/p>\n
Tracton then rattled the net through Lowney before another Quinn free had them ahead on 27 minutes.<\/p>\n
The lead was short-lived, however, as Verling scored an outstanding individual goal to put two between the sides. A point apiece from Quinn and Verling left the score at 1-10 to 1-8 at half-time.<\/p>\n
The second half started in much the same vein with Sean O’Leary’s goal on 39 minutes making it 2-13 to 1-11 to Cloughduv.<\/p>\n
Tracton then went on a rally, outscoring their opponents by six points to one, with Quinn claiming three frees.<\/p>\n
Cloughduv looked to have done enough when they added 1-2, but you write Tracton off at your peril. The Carrigdhoun side produced a stunning late surge, with Lowney’s second goal putting them in front before two further Tracton points completed a remarkable turnaround.<\/p>\n
