Mullane hails team effort but Cushendall boss bemoans refereeing

VICTORIOUS captain John Mullane provided the best summation of yesterday’s mammoth contest in Parnell Park.

“What a fantastic game and credit to the two teams for putting up such a battle for the 80 minutes,’’ said the De La Salle skipper. “Full credit to our lads. We hung in, we never threw in the towel. We got what we deserved.’’

Giant-killing Portumna await them in the final and Mullane feels his side will benefit from the underdog tag.
