Cloyne put an end to Newtownshandrum's reign

Cloyne 1-14 Newtownshandrum 0-14

Pitted against no less a player than Pat Mulcahy, Colm chalked up a goal and four points off the county man, as Cloyne dethroned the champions to claim their place in the final for the first time in the club's history.

A crowd of 15,870 packed into the venue in anticipation of a cracking contest, but it fell flat on its face, and it's difficult to know why.
