Michaelās score in the corner. Ref missed a pass that was a mile forward. Conversion hits the post. Michaelās 22-18
The 14 men strike back with a try in the corner. Get the conversion in off the post for a 25-22 lead.
Newbridge win 25-22. What an upset. They played 20 minutes of the match with 14.

Yaaassssss
Did they score a try in the last few minutes?
Itās a shame Castleknock couldnāt hold on yesterday, would have been the first final with no āBig 6ā school since 1983. In fact thereās only been two of those in the last 50 years (1976 as well) and Michaels were dogshit for a lot of that period.
the big match is tomorrow: KH vs temple carraig
Are you going?
but of course, ive already put in my work diary that Iām OOTO at an important meeting in donnybrook.

An all Kildare final!
I read that in my mind in a Dizzee Rascal voice and it didnāt get any better.
Has Johne Murphy worked miracles or was this a stronger than usual Newbridge team?
Have come across Johne in person a few times. Seems like a decent chap
Itās to the tune of Jesus Christ superstar
I know nothing about it but Iām going to have a wild guess that itās a combination of a once in a generation group of players getting the benefit of particularly good coaching.
Just watched the highlights there. Smashing stuff. Newbridge overcame a massive size differential too. Their backs looked like a junior cup team. The 10 was about 7 stone but he had a brilliant game
The second Newbridge try was some score.
