Mayfield are the kingpins of Munster after being crowned Junior Hurling Champions this afternoon, following a hard earned victory over Ballyduff Lower from Waterford. Mallow was the setting for this game, and while conditions weren't ideal for hurling, both teams managed to produce some excellent scores right throughout the game.

Mayfield held the lead for most of the game, thanks to first half goals from David O' Neill and Shane Duggan, which laid the foundations for this victory. Mayfield went into the break five points to the good after some great points by Nicky Kelly and O' Neill.

Huge credit must go to Ballyduff, who battled hard throughout the game. Mayfield held Ballyduff at bay, thanks to the ever reliable freetaking of Nicky Kelly, who finished the game with 10 points in total. Ballyduff made the game interesting towards the latter stages by scoring two great goals, but the lads held on to record Mayfield's greatest ever triumph. The final score read Mayfield 2-18 Ballyduff 3-10

There were great scenes at the final whistle when captain Shane O' Donovan lifted the cup, sending the Mayfield faithful into raptures. The Club can savour this fantastic victory over the Christmas, and the lads can take a well deserved break!
