Lissycasey come from behind to take a share of the points

Lissycasey  1-10   Cooraclare  2-7
When Cooraclare went seven points clear inside the last quarter of this Garry Cup tie at Cooraclare on Friday night, they looked to be heading for their first win of the campaign.
However, a strong finish from Lissycasey earned them a merited share of the spoils.
The visitors had the better of the first half and should have been more than two points clear at half-time when the score stood at 0-5 to 0-3. In the second quarter, they had failed to convert two great goal opportunities.
On the resumption, Cooraclare grabbed the initiative and goals from Gearóid Looney and Sean Maguire, together with some good points from John Looney, helped them open a seven-point gap inside the last quarter.
To their credit, Lissycasey regained the initiative and points from Francis Hayes, Enda Finnucane and David Considine were followed by an excellent Francis Hayes goal to earn a share of the spoils.
Gerry Moran, Cyril Sheehan and Matt Gilroy were others to impress for Lissycasey while Thomas Donnellan, and Conor Marrinan, in addition to the Looneys, did well for the home side.
