Shane Walsh on song as Crokes seal Leinster three-in-a-row

Naas (Kildare) 0-10 Kilmacud Crokes 1-14

Shane Walsh blasted 1-08 at Croke Park as Kilmacud Crokes surged into the history books as the first ever club to win three Leinster SFC titles in a row.

The All-Ireland title holders were a little flattered by the seven-point winning margin as a highly competitive Naas trailed by just two points with 60 minutes on the clock.

At that stage, Crokes hadn't scored from open play in the second-half as Naas, beaten by the Dubliners in the 2021 decider also, and at the quarter-final stage in 2022, fought desperately for a famous win.

But stoppage time points from Walsh and Rory O'Carroll were followed by a 64th minute goal from Walsh who kicked into an empty net from distance following a turnover high up the pitch.

Naas commit everyone forward before Shane Walsh goes on the charge to seal the Leinster SFC Final for Kilmacud Crokes!
