St. Dominic’s were appearing in their first final in 25-years and Mickey Joe Egan found the Four Roads net after three minutes. Indeed, Egan found the net for a second time on 21 minutes.
A deflected goal from Brian Mannion a minute before half-time got Four Roads back into the game. Dominic’s led 2-8 to 1-3 at half-time.

Indeed, Morris landed his second goal of the game, six minutes from time, making it a two point game.
An Adam Donnelly point and a Morris’s ‘65’ levelled the game with three minutes remaining. Donnelly struck an injury-time goal to help seal the title for Four Roads, 3-12 to 2-17.
