Heroic Hickey points Cashel to victory

Cashel C.S 2-17 Thurles CBS 3-8

That Cashel prevailed in the end was due in large measure to the fact that of the many gifted young players on view, in Darragh Hickey they had the best of the lot.

The centre-forward, a county minor with Tipperary, ended the game with a dozen points to his credit, five from play, six truly-struck frees on a difficult, windy day, one a 65.
