AFTER the twists and turns of this year’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship has gone two miles up the road.
Sarsfelds, of Glanmire in Cork fell to Na Fianna of Drumcondra in Dublin at Croke Park today as the Drumcondra side won the honour of being called All-Ireland Champions for the next twelve months.
Sarsfields earned their spot at GAA HQ after defeating Derry’s Sleacht Néill in a close encounter at St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge, Co Kildare, with Sars winning by a single point to edge out the Ulster champion Robbies.
Na Fianna, under the management of new Dublin hurling manager Niall Ó Ceallacháin, have had a historic season, winning their first-ever Leinster Senior Championship and making their first All-Ireland final by beating Galway champions Loughrea in Semple Stadium, again with a single point deciding the game.
Little separated these two sides but it proved to be Na Fianna’s day for start to finish as Sarsfields were miles off the pace on Sunday afternoon.
Follow along as Na Fianna takes the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship final at Croke Park with a big performance against Sars.
