Kilmacud were fortunate to see off the challenge of Raheny in Saturday’s semi-final, winning 5-4 on penalties after a late goal from Luke Ward tied the match and took it to extra-time.
They did as usual rally but their ability to exploit scoring chances wasn’t commensurate with their possession count and in the end, their challenge fizzled out.Brian Fenton: ‘For sure I’ll be back next year.

Ahead at the break, 1-9 to 0-5, Ballyboden entered their own familiar blackout phase. It took 19 minutes for them to score again and had it not been for that litany of missed opportunity, Jude’s would have been a lot closer than the seven-point margin that Warren Egan’s 49th-minute point opened up. Three points in succession, including two from Kevin McManamon, suggested that at last Ballyboden might be about to pay for their intermittent efforts but having trimmed the deficit to 0-9 to 1-10, Jude’s didn’t trouble the scoreboard operator again.
