Con O’Callaghan led Cuala to victory over Coolera/Strandhill, scoring crucial late points to secure a spot in the Croke Park final. Cuala initially held a seven-point lead, but Coolera/Strandhill closed the gap to two before Cuala pulled ahead again. Cuala dominated the first half, leading 0-6 to 0-2 at halftime. Despite a strong comeback from Coolera/Strandhill, who scored five consecutive points, Cuala maintained their advantage with key contributions from the O’Callaghan brothers. Cuala now aims to join Cork’s St Finbarr’s as the only club to win both All-Ireland senior football and hurling titles. The final will take place next weekend at Croke Park.
