Youghal smash ‘n’ grab

In the end, dogged persistence saw them deliver the knockout punch to Castlelyons in the first minute of injury time. Incredibly, the winning point from interval substitute Ciarán O’Mahony was the only time they led.

So, joy after so many disappointments (including the 2011 final) — but the result left Castlelyons reeling with disbelief. In a low-scoring game that was no classic and had 22 wides, a huge crowd witnessed so many twists and turns. Only seven minutes remained as the green and gold went three points clear but Youghal — who had registered only a trio of points from play up to then — rattled over four more without reply.
