O'Loughlin Gaels and Dicksboro renew their rivalry in the St Canice's Credit Union Senior Hurling League on Saturday, facing off in a third round encounter at 1.30pm in UPMC Nowlan Park.
In last year's senior championship quarter-final, despite losing Mikey Butler and Mark Bergin to second half red cards, county O'Loughlin Gaels somehow got the better of Dicksboro in a pulsating match. - WATCH HIGHLIGHTS BELOW
Fionan Mackessy had a fine game throughout and it was his last gasp goal that eventually broke the Dicksboro spirit as Brian Hogan's men battled to a sensational 2-17 to 0-20 victory.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan for the winners when Luke Hogan netted a goal within seconds as they fought off the attention of Padraic Moylan to shoot past Darragh Holohan.
That cushion allowed O'Loughlins to take a two point half-time advantage but second half red cards to Mikey Butler for a high challenge on Shane Stapleton and team captain Mark Bergin for an off the ball incident with Ollie Walsh looked to have the
defending champions in real trouble as Dicksboro made great use initially of the extra space afforded to them.
With Harry Shine in great form, the 'Boro led 0-18 to 1-12 going into the final few minutes but they couldn't go more tha one score ahead and were made to pay.
Points from Jordan Molloy, Paddy Deegan and Luke Hogan levelled the contest and while Cillian Buckley edged the Boro in front, Mackessy's brilliance gave O'Loughlin's the win late on.
