The Derry star figured that the distance, the ticking clock and the weather conditions would make the kick more difficult to score, than if they had broken through without being fouled, and thus manoeuvred a shot from play.
A gutsy decision, but one that paid off in the end because with the very last kick of the game, Shane Cunnane - who had just scored the point to make it a one-point game - couldn’t get the accuracy just right, and no sooner did it sail wide of the posts did the referee blow the final whistle.
A game of inches.
