Breen and his teammates had the weekend off from the Munster Hurling Championship as it happened to be their bye week in the five-team competition.
They were able to rest easy knowing that they'd already secured a spot in the top-three and with it, progression to the All-Ireland Series.
Sunday's action ensured they won't be in the Munster final, however, as Cork leapfrogged them in the standings with

June 7 will be the Rebels' first provincial final since 2018 where they will attempt to stop Limerick clinching a ridiculous SEVENTH crown in a row.
Victorious manager Pat Ryan said: 'We left an awful lot of chances behind us. But it's knockout Championship, there's going to be a bit more trepidation in it, a bit more nervousness in it.
'Both ourselves and Waterford knew that if we didn't win, we'd be out of the Championship. We played a small bit like that, with a bit of nerves.'
Ryan's side finished the game with their wides tally at 17.

One of those was a glorious goal opportunity for Shane Barrett.
Ryan added: 'That's something we'll work on, the efficiency side of it, but I thought our work-rate, our hitting the breaks, our hunger to get on the ball was an awful lot better than it was last week and that's the way it should be. That's the standard.
RTE pundit Joe Canning urges GAA to make huge change for Leinster hurling final as fans 'totally agree'
'You're not always going to play as well or have great hurling at times and things might not come off in your game-plan.
"But your work-rate, your attitude and your character has to be the standard.
'From our point of view, the attitude last week wasn't good enough. The effort wasn't good enough. I don't think we played brilliant hurling today but today was about attitude and character.'
The 48-year-old also used his post-game platform to
He insisted: 'It's hard not to get drawn into the hype. Some of it was stupid stuff altogether and a lot of it was coming from outside the county.
'You heard people writing off Limerick, some of our own people. Are they off their game or what?
'From my point of view, that was very annoying. I think sometimes fellas would be building you up, hoping that you'd get a kick in the ass.'

Hannah Tyrrell confirms Dublin retirement after Croker glory

Hannah Tyrrell has anounced her retirement from inter-county football after helping Dublin to a seventh TG4 All-Ireland SFC title on Sunday. The multi-talented sportswoman hobbled off with a leg injury in the latter stages of the Dubs' 2-16 to 0-10 defeat of Meath, receiving a huge ovation from the supporters as she left the field. Tyrrell turns 35 this week, and heads for the sunset after a magnificent career laden with silver. She was part of the Ireland rugby team that won the Six Nations in 2015 and played at the Rugby World Cup in 2017. Tyrrell now has two All-Irelands under her belt with Dublin, but confirmed she's played her last match for the Sky Blues. "How lucky am I?" she told RTÉ Sport's Marty Morrissey. "I've been lucky enough to be from Dublin, to get to play for Dublin, finish my career at Croke Park, go out on a high, I'm privileged. "I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead. "I was determined to walk off on my own two feet. It was going to be my last time in Croke Park. Bit of rehab ahead I think." Reflecting on the game itself, Tyrrell heaped praise on her team's defence which lay the foundations for an emphatic success. "It's obviously just amazing for us," she added. "We got the fast start we wanted and I thought our backs were absolutely incredible, gave us the platform to go on and perform. "We knew Meath would come after us and they did in fairness to them, but as I said our backs were brilliant, really stepped and we just kept clipping (over) the scores. The last few minutes were a bit of blur for me really, but it was great to finish it off like that." "I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead." - Hannah Tyrrell, with daughter Aoife in her arms, confirms to @MartyMofficial she has played her last game for Dublin #RTEgaa — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) August 3, 2025

Dominant Dublin ease past Meath to regain All-Ireland Senior title

TG4 All-Ireland SFC final: Dublin 2-16 Meath 0-10 Hannah Tyrrell, Kate Sullivan and team captain Carla Rowe registered an impressive combined tally of 0-13 at Croke Park on Sunday as Dublin regained the TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship title with a commanding triumph over Leinster rivals Meath. Nicole Owens and Niamh Hetherton also bagged goals in a dominant opening half as Dublin ended their first season under the joint management of Paul Casey and Derek Murray with the Brendan Martin Cup back in their possession for the seventh time in history. Needing just three points to secure the ZuCar Golden Boot for 2025, Tyrrell got the ball rolling in a repeat of the 2021 All-Ireland decider with an early 0-2 salvo. Things got even better for the Sky Blues when Owens struck a clinical sixth minute goal and Sullivan also added her name to the scoresheet before Emma Duggan finally opened Meath's account with a successful free on 10 minutes. While Duggan was on hand to cancel out a score from Rowe, Dublin pushed into overdrive either side of the first quarter mark with four points on the bounce from Tyrrell (two), Orlagh Nolan and Sullivan. The rampant Jackies then moved twelve clear when Hetherton buried a shot to the roof of the Meath net in the 22nd minute and even though Duggan contributed a brace of frees in response to Sullivan's third from play, Dublin brought an emphatic 2-9 to 0-4 buffer into the break. This left the Royals with an enormous uphill task on the restart, but Meath were provided with fresh impetus when Duggan kicked two more points in advance of her Dunboyne club-mate Vikki Wall posting a fine effort from play. However, Dublin reinforced their superiority when Rowe knocked over a place-ball effort of her own and Tyrrell's fifth point of the day meant they were once again in front by double figures (2-11 to 0-7). With Sullivan bringing her own personal haul up to 0-4 off a subsequent attack, the Metropolitan outfit were on the brink of another top-tier crown heading into the closing quarter. Ciara Smyth, skipper Aoibhin Cleary and Duggan (with her seventh of the tie) all found the target for Meath as the final whistle approached, but although Tyrrell was withdrawn through injury late on, points from Hetherton, Niamh Crowley and the influential Rowe (two) ensured Dublin eased towards their second All-Ireland success in the space of three years. Scorers for Dublin: H Tyrrell (0-5, 3f), C Rowe (0-4, 2f), K Sullivan (0-4), N Hetherton (1-1), N Owens (1-0), N Crowley, O Nolan (0-1 each). Scorers for Meath: E Duggan (0-7, 6f), A Cleary, C Smyth, V Wall (0-1 each). DUBLIN: A Shiels; J Tobin, L Caffrey, N Donlon; S Goldrick, M Byrne, N Crowley; E O'Dowd, H McGinnis; N Owens, C Rowe, O Nolan; H Tyrrell, N Hetherton, K Sullivan. Subs: S McIntyre for Owens (49), A Kane for McGinnis (51), H Leahy for Donlon (54), L Grendon for Tyrrell (55), C Darby for Sullivan (57). MEATH: R Murray; K Kealy, MK Lynch, A Sheridan; S Ennis, S Wall, A Cleary; O Sheehy, M Farrelly; M Thynne, N Gallogly, C Smyth; E Duggan, V Wall, K Cole. Subs: K Bermingham for Farrelly (25), Farrelly for Ennis, E Moyles for Sheehy (both 42), N McEntee for Cole (49), C Lawlor for Kealy (51). Referee: Gus Chapman (Sligo).
