Ya nail on the head Niall, it was pretty shite fair all said, Strokestown were playing with 13 men in defense, so were hard to break down, but should never have let it be so close. One kick of the ball could have sent them crashing out!

It was their worst performance of the year with two county men Peter Cooke and Dessie Conneely missing very scorable frees and lots of them, good to get away with it, but they can't afford a repeat this Sunday in the Connacht final against Tourlestrane
