Long wait over for Ardfinnan

ARDFINNAN produced a tremendous display of passion, pride and no little football at Cashel to take the Tipperary SFC title for the first time in 31 years.

And it was fitting that one of their most famous sons, Peter Lambert, should score the winning point seven minutes from time. With this gruelling final delicately poised at 1-4 apiece after Loughmore's Ciaran McGrath fisted home an equalising goal, Lambert conjured up one moment of magic to seal the affair.

Forced well wide of the goal, Lambert sold three dummies near the end line, before curling over the match winning point.
