Men's Hockey Leinster Senior Cup final: Glenanne - 2 Three Rock Rovers - 1 A cup final from the old school. Tough, gritty, little fluency, no space and fiercely fought. Six cards, four of them green and two yellow. Five of them going to Glenanne, one to Three Rock Rovers and even that had little impact on a game that was evenly matched throughout.

Apart from the opening quarter, where Glenanne had more penetration than their opponents, only the goals separated the two sides.

Glennane's timing for their second score was perfect. A smart centred hit into the middle, a scrambled ball and Alan Goulding at the end of it for Glenanne to take a 2-1 lead.

No sooner had Goulding discarded his stick to commence his round of celebrations than umpire Graham Caulwell blew for full-time. Most watches had the Glenanne winner arriving in the last three seconds.

In truth, it could have fallen either way and the irony is that Glenanne scored their second goal with just about 11 men on the field, one of their strongest players and the scorer of their equaliser, Paul Fitzpatrick was benched after a clumsy tackle running back on 64 minutes.

Despite the number of cards shown the game was far from nasty and all of the reprimands were for stick hacks or mouthing to the umpires.

It began with Rovers playing the more patterned game, while Glenanne were typically mixing it well and unafraid to be more direct with the occasional long ball into the Rovers' circle.

The midfield battle between Alan Browne and Peter McConnell was an interesting aside but much of Rovers' dangerous balls came from speculative overheads out of defence from Alan Bothwell and Niall Denham.

It was from one of those that Christian Judd put Rovers in front. A long high delivery landed nicely for Charlie Carroll on the run. While Ciaran Bolger got across to Carroll to nick the ball, it rolled perfectly for Judd to finish on 35 minutes, Rovers going into the break 1-0 ahead.

It took lots of hard graft and effort to get Glenanne back into it and on their third short corner of the game, Fitzpatrick took a switch to drill past goalkeeper Shane Davey to equalise seven minutes from time.

Extra-time looked a certainty at this stage, although Rovers were pressing. Instead Goulding did his job, the Mills Cup going back to Tallaght for the third time and the first since 2002.
