Village victors go to town

James Stephens 2-16, Young Ireland’s 3-12

Village victors go to town

DJ Carey's brilliance produced three late goals to revitalise Young Ireland's flagging challenge and with two points separating the teams, he drove a 64th minute penalty inches over the bar to seal his team's fate.

Outstanding James Stephens captain Peter Barry admitted to "the greatest feeling in the world" after lifting the trophy but he had felt very differently minutes earlier. "It looked like DJ was going to score. You couldn't help feeling that we were going to leave it behind us," he said. "We were lucky the gods smiled on us."
