Terrific Tullamore make history

Tullamore became the first club to win the All-Ireland Junior Cup twice in an entertaining final at Dubarry Park in Athlone on Saturday.

Winning coach John Moylan praised his pack for their role in victory: “We dominated up front and were very disciplined. We were aggressive at the breakdown, but didn’t concede kickable penalties. We attacked from the first minute and set out our stall,” said Moylan.

It was heartbreaking for Monivea, who became the first club to lose two All-Ireland Junior Cup deciders, having also lost last year’s final.
