This allowed Josh O’Connor and Jamie Finn time to dominate midfield. Conan Crowley and Cathal Broderick cut up the wings causing trouble for Youghal. Dylan O’Connor played outstanding up front and, being double-marked was unlucky not to bag one. Ruairi O’Sullivan and Antony Higgins were also unlucky not to score. Jamie Finn struck one home with Youghal lucky to equalise. Final score was four-all.
