Castletown grab two late winners

-

Castletown 4-6, Gusserane 2-10: Castletown and Gusserane played out a thriller in Farmleigh in the Under-14 Division 2 final, with the north county side winning by two points.

With two minutes to go the teams were level after Gusserane's Ciara Ryan converted a penalty after her sister, Fiona, was brought down, and it looked like they would go on and win after being ten points in arrears ten minutes into the second-half.

But Castletown gathered themselves together for a final push and Sinéad Gaynor pointed a 35-metre free, with Niamh Spencer quickly adding another.
