SHL Round 5
22nd May @ Coill Dubh
Ardclough 1-14 Coill Dubh 2-11

Coill Dubh earned a draw at home in round 5 of the Senior Hurling League thanks to a last minute strike.

Ardclough travelled to Coill Dubh expecting a hard fought game and after thirty minutes of hurling they had earned a one point half-time lead, six points to five.

The hosts looked to have the better of Ardclough in the second half, with goals coming from Morgan O’Callaghan and the Coill Dubh’s top scorer Mark Delaney.

A fight back from Ardclough was needed. A Brian Coulston goal gave them a major boost, and they took the lead late in the game, only for Coill Dubh to equalise with the last poc of the game.
