Dublin SHC: Hayes brothers help Crokes to capital glory
Kilmacud Crokes secured their eighth Dublin Senior Hurling Championship title after defeating Cuala at Parnell Park. The victory was driven by a strong performance from brothers Ronan and Brian Hayes.
Why it matters
This win marks a significant achievement for the club, maintaining their competitive dominance in the Dublin hurling scene.
Brothers Ronan and Brian Hayes combined in thrilling fashion to fire Kilmacud Crokes to PTSB Dublin SHC title success at Parnell Park.
Ronan's 1-06 haul, and another powerhouse midfield display by sibling Brian further out the pitch, helped drive the Stillorgan side to an eighth title and their first since 2022.
Crokes captured a double of hurling and football titles back in '22 and neighbours Cuala were attempting to pull off that same feat this time.
But Dalkey side Cuala trailed from the first score of the game - a Brian Hayes point for Crokes after just 25 seconds - and never really looked like matching the achievement of their football counterparts last weekend.
The win caps a perfect campaign from Crokes who surged to their eighth win in a row since the start of this season's Championship.
