Mayfield delight as they collect All-Ireland junior title in classic

Mayfield (Cork) ... 2-16; Mooncoin (Kilkenny) ... 1-18: Mayfield wrote a momentous new chapter in the history of a club that has had its share of challenges in recent times.

They faced another daunting challenge at Croke Park in the form of a cultured and driven Kilkenny outfit, but faced them down in the manner that has seen them overcome virtually every obstacle placed in their way in recent times.

Boundless courage, unflappable pride and an unbreakable spirit drove these men to their finest hour and an achievement which will inspire an emerging generation back in their north-east suburb of Cork city.
