The scores had been tied so Bennettsbridge moved three clear and, as it turned out, neither team scored again in the remaining six minutes or so.

It was an unfortunate way for an exciting and high quality game to be decided even if it did ensure a piece of club hurling history for Bennettsbridge who have now won consecutive junior and intermediate titles.
