15 Clonmore Juniors made the long journey to Borris to fulfill this fixture, but they did much more than that. John Connolly came out of retirement to have a stormer at corner back aand Tommy Kelly donned his boots again at the ripe young age of 62. Clonmore took the game to Rangers from the start and raced into a 1-3 to 0-1 lead on 15 minutes, all scored by the lively Niall Humphries. MLR raised their game in the second quarter to go in leading by 2-4 to 1-4, Clonmore's 4th point was a cracker by Michael "Chang" McGrath. We were well in the game up to 52mins when score stood at 2-6 to 1-6 but the younger legs of the home side and the fact that they sent in four subs swa them pull away at the end
