This year we didn’t think of anything else, only winning.”

To do so they had to overcome a stubborn but limited challenge from their own divisional side, Emmets, who, having pushed Kilmallock all the way in the group stages, came with high hopes but found themselves frustrated by a massive Kilmallock defensive effort, at the heart of which was captain and man-of-the-match Gavin O’Mahony.
