These two teams played out a thrilling four-all draw on Saturday afternoon in testing conditions at the Ormond Stores pitch in Kilsheelan.
The home side started well and found themselves in front after 18 minutes when Daniel Condon netted after picking up possession deep inside the penalty area and neatly finishing past the ‘keeper. They extended that lead to 2-0 just after the half- hour mark when a long kick out from the goalie was misjudged by a Borris defender, and the ball deflected over his own ‘keeper into an empty net.
The hosts found a third goal six minutes into the second half when Darren Kirwan found Brandon Landers with an inch-perfect through ball, and Landers made no mistake with the finish, finding the bottom corner.
The game looked up at this point for Borris but they fired two quick goals in the next five minutes to put the tie right back into the melting pot.
Fifteen minutes from time the turnaround was complete when they added a third goal, thanks to a long distance effort into the top corner of the goal. To make matters worse for the hosts, they were reduced to ten men for the remainder of the game.
Eight minutes from time, all the early good work was undone for the home side when Borris took the lead for the first time in the game, thanks to a penalty that was fired to the opposite side of the home team’s goalie and into the net.
However, the home side kept battling and deservedly found an equaliser in the final minute when Anthony Boyle fired home after a goalmouth scramble from a Gus Nolan free kick, to put the gloss on what was an excellent and exciting game for those in attendance
