Nine years of waiting over for never-say-die Ring

Ring 0-10 De La Salle 1-6

It may not have been the prettiest of spectacles, but it provided the fans with a tension charged last quarter as the men from the Gaeltacht came from four points down to grab the glory in a frenetic finale.

For De La Salle there’s the heartbreak of having to endure the disappointment of defeat in the senior hurling and intermediate football finals by the minimum of margins, and they will long bemoan the way they surrendered the initiative in this game when the winning post was in sight.
