W3:
Some big hitters were missing from tonights third and final round of the Gothenburg GAA interprovincials, and Munster made their experienced team count to drag themselves back into contention for the overall title.
They were fast out of the blocks against Leinster, racking up a huge win 3-10 to 0-5, a fourteen point difference. Connacht had four players who never played the game before, and couldn't put it up to the southerners, running out losers 4-2 to 1-1.
At the end of this game, that left the standing at Leinster and Munster with three wins each and Connacht on two. Munsters scoring difference was +23 points, Leinsters was -18 and Connachts was -8. That meant that Connacht were effectively out unless they won by 31 points, but still had a lot to say about wher the title would go in the final match.
In the end Leinster combined more clinical finishing with cynical fouling to run out 2-5 to 1-2 winners, taking the overall title.
Congratulations to Leinster on the title, thanks to everyone who showed up so we could get three teams out each night, and welcome back to all those players who tried the sport for the first time. What a great way to cap the year, and we'll definitely be doing this again at the start of next season. We can't leave Leinster on top for long.
Thanks Eoin Ó Broin for the idea and the drive to realise it.
