All-Ireland club final 2001, Athenry vs Graigue-Ballycallan
"Eugene Cloonan scored the equalising goal with our fullback's hurl that day. There's a very famous picture of it in 'A Season Of Sundays'. It's a standout match and I remember it very distinctly." - Eddie Brennan, Graigue-Ballycallan
Brendan Keogh robbed the ball at midfield and slipped it to Gerry Keane. The Athenry number three hit a long ball over his shoulder towards the Graigue-Ballycallan goal.
Chaos ensued with Cloonan losing his hurley. Still, he followed the action, and in a moment of pure opportunism, spotted that O'Dwyer's hurley on the ground.
He picked it up, scooped the sliotar and tapped it to the net. A draw. 1-15 each and extra-time to follow. - balls.ie
