Oulart-The Ballagh manager Frank Flannery offered no excuses after O'Loughlin Gaels ended his side's reign as Leinster club hurling champions with a nine-point victory at Innovate Wexford Park.

"We enjoyed the ideal start, leading 0-9 to 1-1 after 18 minutes, but the concession of a second goal which left us trailing by two points at the interval saw frustration creeping in in the second half," he stated in the Irish Daily Mirror.

"We set out our stall early on, but the Kilkenny champions really took over in the second half. It was similar to the Kilkenny final, they completed suffocated us out of the game and there was little we could do.

"It's frustrating, but the lads gave their all. On the day it was simply just not good enough."
