"Dingle like the drama, don't they? Mikey Geaney, the bookmaker who sets the odds for American college basketball, took the ball, took the shot, and Dingle are All-Ireland champions for the first time."
"At one point late on, the Andy Merrigan Cup surely looked destined for Kiltoom in Roscommon and redemption for St Brigid's after their final loss two years ago."
Dingle won 0-23 to 1-19 over St Brigid's to claim the All-Ireland championship for the first time. Mikey Geaney, a bookmaker who sets odds for American college basketball, took the decisive ball and the shot that sealed Dingle's victory. The contest produced late drama and a narrow one-point margin. Late in the game the Andy Merrigan Cup appeared destined for Kiltoom in Roscommon, offering St Brigid's a chance at redemption after their final loss two years earlier. Dingle's late score denied that redemption and secured the historic title.
