Sars closed the gap in the second half but Ballyhea held their nerve led by captain Maurice O'Sullivan and the accuracy of Neil Ronan from placed balls . We led by 4 points entering the final minute before the visitors finally found a way past Mikey Browne in the Ballyhea goal but it was too late for Sars to salvage the points . This win puts us back in the running for a place in the play offs .
