Seven months after their semi-final wins, Dublin and Galway finally meet in the 2020 Leinster U20HC final at Bord na Mona O'Connor Park this evening.
Despite the long lay-off, the sides are serving up an entertaining tussle in Tullamore.
At half-time, the Dubs hold a 1-11 to 1-9 lead, with midfielder Mark Sweeney getting them off to a flying start when blasting to the net in the 9th minute.
John Cooney raised a green flag at the other end to bring Galway back on level terms before Dublin goalkeeper Eddie Gibbons landed a monster from his own 45-metre line.
