"Allez les bleus", the St Finbarr’s players chanted as they celebrated the return of the Andy Scannell Cup to Togher after a great Cork Premier SFC final battle with Clonakilty.

They left it late, but did just about enough to deserve one-point win, with their stronger bench and superior experience being pivotal in the end.
