It helped ro keep St Flannan's on course to retain the Croke Cup.

It came at a crucial stage after the Kilkenny side, aided by the strong wind, had cut Flannan's half-time lead of 0-6 to 0-2 to the minimum with three unanswered points by Mark Bergin, whose free taking was impeccable. While the Leinster champions brought the deficit down to a point a second time late in the match, magnificent defending by the reigning champions kept them in front to the final whistle.
