The final whistle sparked wild celebrations and while the all-important goals were the clinching scores, there was never any doubt Sam Maguires were the better side.

They opened with intent, points from Brendan McCarthy and Declan Coughlan setting them on their way. However, Clonakilty captain Barry O’Mahony registered his side’s first score on 15 minutes with a magnificent effort. Scott Sheehan levelled matters but then Sam Maguires broke through for a goal one minute into injury time from Jack O’Connell.
