It was an even first half, with great hurling played by both sides. The lads went in at half-time just two points behind.

Whatever Smythy said to the lads at half-time certainly worked a treat, as they came out firing in the second half and produced a fantastic performance to secure the win.

A tough, physical game played in a brilliant sporting manner by two very talented teams, who will no doubt have many more battles over the years.

Well done to all the lads — a fantastic team performance! 👏💪🏻⚫🟡
