Report

Naas bridged a 17-year gap in finally winning the Senior Hurling Championship with a 0-15 to 0-12 win over Coill Dubh in St. Conleth’s. Coill Dubh were disappointed with their performance in the Final, missing 12 scoring opportunities, including two goal chances. Naas led 0-9 to 0-5 at the half, and scored most of their first half points from frees – only Shane Ryan & Brian Byrne scored from play, whereas Coill Dubh scored 4 of their five points from play.

Coill Dubh never changed their tactic of sending long balls directly into the forwards, and this was read easily and lapped-up by Naas in the first half. Naas were more settled in this game, and were assured throughout the game. They won by 3 points in the end.
