With so much inter-county talent on parade, the game had a high profile, and didn't disappoint. There were six yellow cards and one sending off which might give the impression it was a dirty match..Not so.
Two evenly-matched sides were level six times, three in each half, before the home side finished with a brace of points. But, all credit to Maynooth who can count themselves unfortunate not to have forced extra-time.
