John Kiely, are you watching?

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

Let’s set the scene; a Junior hurling final in Limerick where everything is at stake.

There’s a serious rivalry in this Limerick parish with Patrickswell facing Ballybrown, aside from the trophy there are serious bragging rights at stake.

It’s a struggle to try to separate the two teams with Patrickswell taking a one point lead at half time, which they then extended to three points going into injury time.

Cue Ballybrown’s Emmett Hannon as he attempts to spoil the party.

It looks like he is going to hit a stinger into the top corner to level things up in the most dramatic ending possible.

But Patrickswell goalkeeper Garry Murphy had another thing in mind, this was a Junior final after all.

Anthony Nash eat your heart out because you’ve never produced a crunch save quite as good as this one.

It’s safe to say that Garry Murphy didn’t have to buy himself a drink that night as his side held on to become City League Champions.
