Following that mid-week semi-final win attention turned to Sunday afternoon’s county final in Semple Stadium, Thurles when Éire Óg dramatically defeated Holycross-Ballycahill on a score line of 3-10 to 1-15. Goals from Killian Gleeson and Andrew Coffey before half-time and another in the second half by Gary Howard helped Éire Óg toward this epic one-point victory.
