Fr O'Neill's are Munster hurling champions again after bruising battle

Ballysaggart really put it up to them, never allowing them to relax at any stage in a compelling contest that was in doubt until Deccie Dalton fired over a free deep into stoppage time that gave the East Cork team a four-point advantage. The difference in the end between the two sides was that O’Neill’s scored a brace of crucial goals, one in each half and those scores were hugely significant.

O’Neill’s subs Liam O’Driscoll and Jason Hankard got on the board with a couple of huge points but Ballysaggart would not go away.

So ended a gripping contest that had the attendance on the edge of their seats in those closing, frenetic minutes.
