I think today was his best performance of all. He was on the frees and I think he only missed one, he was up 100% other than that. He stuck his goal away well too and was absolutely brilliant for us. "He would have played with Westmeath all the way up along, underage to senior. And he played a bit of football as well. He was with Warwickshire then last year before moving to London. It was a big step up but no better man for it." Advertisement Most read in GAA Hurling Derry beat London in the round robin stage but trailed London virtually throughout this time.

New York claim historic first Lory Meagher cup with victory over Cavan
Lory Meagher Cup final: New York 4-17 Cavan 2-17 New York used goals as their battering ram to a historic first Lory Meagher Cup title success at Croke Park.

The Breffni took consolation from a strong finish with two final quarter goals themselves to push New York all the way. It was Cavan's first final at the grade since losing to Fermanagh in the 2021 decider. They returned to Croke Park with 11 starters from that final four years ago in their matchday squad. But while they were desperate to redeem themselves, and qualified for the final with a group game to spare, they ran into a high quality New York side.
