AUSTIN Stacks booked their place in this year’s Munster Club Final yesterday, but not after an incredibly tough contest against the Cork champions, Ballincollig.
Here is a selection of how it all went down on the ‘Twittersphere’…
The Irish Examiner’s Tony Leen was setting the record straight in the buildup
How many out there presume Austin Stack Park in Tralee is the home ground of Austin Stacks?

A hour before throw-in the weather was great and a carnival atmosphere was in the air. We’re not supposed to be enjoying days like this half way through November.

Early signs were not good for the Rock
Did Austin Stacks boys go straight from Greyhound Bar to field to take on Ballincollig? Come on lads sober up!

After a poor start, Stacks manage to claw their way back into contention by the end of the first half.
Munster Club SFC half-time Austin Stacks 0-6 Ballincollig 1-4. Stacks will be delighted. Outplayed for twenty minutes came back strong #GAA

All apiece for the 1st time ballincollig 1-4 Austin stacks 0-7 with 34 mins gone

Donegal minor, Gavin McBride, had this to say. Maybe a wee bit controversial up north.
I’d be pretty confident that Austin Stacks kicked the ball more times in that 60 mins than any team in Ulster have all year #DifferentGame

Stacks, attempted to eek over the line with a one point lead, but former All Star, John Miskella had other ideas.
INCREDIBLE! Last gasp point from all of 50 metres levels the game. Ballincollig 1-7 Austin Stacks 0-10. Extra time to follow #gaa

Muster SFC full-time Austin Stacks 0-10 Ballincollig 1-7. Extra time. As Billy O’Shea kept saying in radio Stacks played a dangerous game
— Damian Stack (@damianstack) November 16, 2014
So into extra time we go…
