Motivator Monan keeps Ballygalget trained on title
To get this far, Newtown have beaten Delanys, awarded a walkover against Erin’s Own, outplayed a star-studded CIT side, overcame a highly-motivated, professionally-prepared Cloyne in the final, all to win the Cork Senior Hurling Championship.
After that, they had to beat a resurgent Thurles (Tipperary) and experienced Ballygunner (Waterford), to win the Munster title.
