Templenoe made the long trip to Listowel last Saturday evening and after a proverbial game of two halves with the strong breeze a big factor, Templenoe fought back from been 10 points down at the break to draw at the death for a crucial county league point.
Listowel Emmets had the wind to their backs for the first half and they wasted no time in making it count, as they outscored the visitors by 1-05 to 0-01 in the first quarter. The Listowel scores came from Darragh Lynch (2), Joe Grimes, Cormac Mulvihill and Eddie Healy, while their goal was fired home by Adam O’Rourke.

The second quarter saw the hosts keep their foot on the accelerator and extend the margin to 10 points by the interval, with Sam Tarrant (2), Darragh Lynch (2), Sean Keane, Pa Walsh and Aaron Carey all chipping in. Although, the visitors were falling further behind they did manage to tag on a few scores of their own through Aidan Crowley (3) and Brian Crowley to keep their slim hopes alive.
Half Time Score: Listowel Emmets 1-12, Templenoe 0-05.
At the re-start the hosts actually increased to 12 points courtesy of points from Sean Keane and Jack McElligott, but then a goal and a point in quick succession from Cian Hallissey and Brian Crowley respectively would finally spark the visitors into life. Three points followed from Colin Crowley, Brian Crowley and Aidan Crowley, before Mark Casey rifled the ball to the net for a pivotal goal to make the score 1-14 to 2-09 midway through the second half.
