With the game tied in injury-time, a lot of teams might have taken the replay if it was offered but Mallow captain, Eoin Stanton, always had belief that his side could still dig out the win.

“We were four or five points ahead with 10 minutes to go but Michael's came at us really strongly in the last quarter. I don’t know would we have taken it because we have a great belief in ourselves, there was only a kick of a ball in it in the end and thankfully it fell to the right man in the right place with Sean Hayes and the goal.
