If the drawn game bordered on tedium, part two produced a classic, with Blarney toppling one of the favourites. Some superb passages of hurling peppered a remarkable contest that produced memorable scoring exploits, particularly from Blarney’s John Hurley.

He scored a litany of excellent points and his 21st minute goal proved crucial. Excellent goalkeeping from Ronan Byrne saw him bring off a hat-trick of incredible saves in last five minutes.
