AIB Munster Club SHC: Ballygunner overcome spirited Doon

Ballygunner 0-25 Doon 0-20

Report from GAA.ie

This was another contest all about Ballygunner’s patience and purpose.

Doon produced an admirably defiant display throughout, but Ballygunner still found a way to survive, and eventually thrive.

Goalkeeper Stephen O’Keeffe made crucial saves when required as Doon posed stern questions during an absorbing match.

At the opposite end of the field Dessie Hutchinson and Patrick Fitzgerald, especially in the second half, produced vital plays when it truly mattered.

Following a first ever Limerick SHC title, Derek McGrath’s determined Doon summoned a gutsy opening period display.

By the time the interval rolled around Doon were 0-12 to 0-8 ahead as a gripping game unfolded.

Adam English was sharp for Doon, who were demonstrating why they captured silverware on home turf a week previously with Chris Thomas an influential figure.

Ballygunner, though, stayed cool and composed under pressure. After the restart Fitzgerald rifled over three gorgeous points, while Pauric Mahony and Hutchinson were others to make sterling contributions.

Doon continued to battle until the bitter end, carving some goalscoring opportunities, but O’Keeffe made vital stops thwarting Pat Ryan whenthe issue was delicately poised.

Despite Doon’s bravery, Ballygunner, such a seasoned outfit at this level, progressed with Hutchinson adding a couple of excellent scores late on to seal the deal.
