Jack O'Connor the lad to save Sarsfields

However, there was no doubting the manner in which Sarsfields battled to victory, with match winner Jack O’Connor leading them home as the teenage forward fired a rasping goal from a tight angle coming down the home straight.
It was a score they badly needed just as the game was petering out. Having reached the semi-final last year and falling to eventual county champions Imokilly after a replay, Sarsfields would have been favourites. But, they had to use all their guile and experience to get over this one.
