Unbelievable comeback as Crokes win!

Two second half goals from Mark Davoren helped 14-man Kilmacud Crokes win the Leinster title at Parnell Park.

Crokes were run off their feet by an excellent Rhode team in the first half, and as early as the 14th minute appeared down and out when Cian OSullivan was sent off following a straight red card.

Niall McNamee scored 1-03, as Rhode took a 1-06 to 0-03 lead into half-time.

Davorens goal-scoring as well as a superbly committed 14 man display in the second half helped Crokes grind out a third provincial win. This wasnt the first time the Crokes players have had their backs to the wall and no doubt they will even further relish the next day out all the more.

Rhode with as good a first half perfomance as seen all year, will be seriously disappointed.

That being said, Crokes clawed it back with a second half comeback to be spoken of in the history of the club.
