Moorefield win Leinster football championship in most dramatic fashion

It ain't over 'til it's over.

58 minutes are on the clock in Portlaoise. Ronan O'Toole's tidy finish looks to have all but put the writing on the wall for Moorefield and for the 2017 Leinster football final. St. Loman's have turned over a three-point half time deficit in ruthless fashion and the scoreboard reads as follows with two minutes of normal time left:

Moorefield 0-10 St. Loman's 2-10

Game over, you'd think. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/942413299446173696 Think again. The next seven minutes of normal and injury time will forever be remembered in Moorefield folklore as the Kildare champions came back from the dead to win their second ever senior club provincial title. And, my oh my, what a way to do it. Six points became five. https://twitter.com/MoorefieldGaa/status/942413737167851520 Five became two. https://twitter.com/MoorefieldGaa/status/942414499654656005 Two became one. https://twitter.com/MoorefieldGaa/status/942414775119728640 One became zero. https://twitter.com/MoorefieldGaa/status/942415084906835969 And, with the game in the balance, with one last piece of play remaining, Moorefield found unlikely hero in wing half back Kevin Murnaghan who swung over his shoulder and made history. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/942424590369939456

Moorefield 1-14 St. Loman's 2-10

With club stalwart Ronan Sweeney so inspirational in what was a comeback for the ages, the scenes after the game were every bit as momentous and as magical as an occasion would dictate. This wasn't just any Leinster final win. This was one of the greatest turnarounds in sport in 2017 and, in true Hollywood fashion, Moorefield wrote and followed a script that will become immortalised in the club. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_GAA/status/942416882933682176 The Lilywhite lynchpins progress to the All-Ireland semi-final now where they will meet the winners of Corofin and Fulham Irish.
