From the beginning of the second half right to the finish Passage were on the back foot facing into the gale. A massive defensive effort followed with every defender putting in trojan work. Blarney scored two goals in quick succession and then went ahead by a point. Passage fought back with a goal from Cian Power and a pointed free from Anto Kidney. Wave after wave of Blarney attacks followed and it was impossible to deny them points. In the end Blarney won it by a single point. Final score Blarney 2-06 Passage 2-05.

On the day Passage gave an outstanding team performance with every player a hero. Passage now move on to the County Championship semi-final, probably under lights, the week after next and in a strange twist could finish up meeting Blarney again in the County final if both teams win their semi-finals.
