Killeagh shocked mighty Blackrock 2-16 to 1-14. And there was no fluke about it as acknowledged in a boisterous winner’s dressing-room afterwards by gracious Blackrock coach Timmy Murphy.

It was a win built on skill and fitness by a well-prepared, finely-balanced and talented hurling side, a win that was fully deserved.
