Under 21 Hurling: Lorrha 2-13 Borris-Ileigh 3-10
Lorrha came from behind to secure a draw against Borris-Ileigh in the Under 21 Championship on Sunday afternoon last.
Lorrha were slow to start and conceded an early goal. A free from Kevin Maher went all the way to the net and second from John Lambe gave Lorrha a one point half time lead. There was very little between the sides in the second half and a late Kevin Maher free rescued a draw for Lorrha.
