THE Glen and the Rockies is a classic county hurling final pairing and it will be repeated next Sunday for the first time in 42 years.
Glen Rovers were fancied by many to collect the Seán Óg Murphy cannister in this unique 2020 season, having reached last year's final where they lost to Imokilly and with the experience of lifting the title in 2015 and '16.
Blackrock last made the showpiece in 2017, where they also lost to Imokilly, but haven't been champions since 2002, during a period when they won three in four seasons. That era started off with a defeat of UCC in '99 and Fergal Ryan's side were pushed all the way in Saturday's semi-final.
The College hit a staggering 0-34 and still couldn't see off the Rockies. They were two clear at the end of normal time before Niall Cashman and Alan Connolly intervened and were up by three going into the second 10 minutes of extra time.
Ultimately Blackrock found a way to win, helped by two goals from Shane O'Keeffe and another by Connolly as they shot 3-26, while sub Tadhg Deasy chipped in with 0-5. UCC's Kerry maestro Shane Conway finished with 0-14, Blarney's Padraig Power six from play, and they still fell short.
Erin's Own gave Glen Rovers a serious test too, with Cork senior Robbie O'Flynn's 1-5, goals from Cian O'Callaghan and Mossy O'Carroll and a ferocious defensive effort giving them a platform.
The Glen kept their cool as Patrick Horgan arched over 0-14, while Brian Moylan, Adam Lynch, David Noonan, Donal Cronin and Simon Kennefick made some big plays as well in a 0-22 to 3-10 victory under floodlit Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
It's back to the big house again next Sunday for the final, which will be live on TG4 at 4pm. The last all-city final was 1990, when Na Piarsaigh won their first county in a replay against the Barrs.
