Heart-break for Tynagh Abbey Duniry hurlers in All-Ireland final - Mattie Kenny reaction

Tynagh-Abbey Duniry came agonisingly close to winning the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Title yesterday in Croke Park as they lost 2-15 to 0-18 to Watergrasshill from Cork after extra time. In a game that saw Shane Maloney score ten points for the Galway and Connacht champions, the match-winning goal came at the end of extra time from Sean Desmond to break Tynagh-Abbey-Duniry's hearts. After the game, Niall Canavan spoke to Tynagh-Abbey-Duniry manager Mattie Kenny...
