They pushed into a 1-8 to 0-3 lead midway through the second period, thanks to that first Sweeney green flag. 

Josh Sheridan, in the Roanmore goal, made a couple of saves that kept his side in it and when his teammate Paul O'Sullivan found the net after 50 minutes, it was back to 1-9 to 1-5.

Sweeney notched his second goal in the last moments of the game however, to settle it in Na Piarsaigh's favour.
