Manager Paul O’Donovan hailed his team for overcoming that setback.
“Our focus all week was the need to win breaks around the middle. We brought (full back) Kevin (Fulignati) to the half-back line and he was outstanding. Stephen Cronin was outstanding at centre-back. Our two midfielders were well on top too. And we had good forwards inside. Conor Horgan and Ciaran Dalton were excellent in the first half.”
