We travelled to the Crystal grounds to face the title challengers and can count ourselves very unlucky not to come away with a point at least. A disciplined performance throughout frustrated Crystal while a few chances came our way without the finished product.

87 minutes on the clock and it looked like a stalemate but the experience of the evergreen Davy Squealer Walsh winning a free out wide with the resulting delivery producing the winner with Jake Moore just beaten to it by the Crystal player.

Disappointing result but a very encouraging and much improved display from all today.
