Cushendall suffer agonising defeat by O'Loughlin Gaels

Cushendall led by eight after 13 minutes but their advantage was trimmed to 1-10 to 1-7 by half-time in Navan

Cushendall suffered an agonising 1-17 to 1-16 All-Ireland Club Hurling semi-final defeat by O'Loughlin Gaels as they paid for several missed chances.

But Sean Bolger's goal contributing to cutting the Ulster champions' half-time advantage in Navan to 1-10 to 1-7.

After the Gaels quickly levelled, the lead was swapped several times before David Fogarty's 73rd-minute winner.

Neil McManus hit 0-9 - including 0-3 from play - but missed a chance to bring the game to extra-time as he fired wide on the turn from near the left sideline in the closing seconds.

Cushendall will also look back on a series of missed chances when they were 1-15 to 1-14 down, as the game entered the closing 10 minutes, with Eoghan Campbell, Fergus McCambridge and Ed McQuillan all firing point-scoring opportunities wide in addition to substitute Sean McAfee's touch letting him down in front of goal when a major seemed on after McManus had squared the sliotar to him.

O'Loughlin Gaels' victory sets up a decider with Galway side St Thomas' who beat Ballygunner after a penalty shootout in Saturday's first semi-final.
