In only their third year at Senior, Ciarán Kilkenny-inspired Castleknock came out on the right side of a Dublin Club Championship epic with star-studded Oliver Plunketts at Parnell Park.

It speaks to Kilkenny's performance that it could even be considered on par with new recruit Séamus O'Carroll, an inter-county star with Limerick, who fired 1-10 of the winners' 2-18 on a monumental night in Clontarf. All Star Kilkenny was good for 1-2, but ran the show alongside his young teammates in a club clash for the ages.

Plunketts, with the Brogans, Gareth 'Nesty' Smith and Paul Galvin in their ranks, came up just short with 2-15 of their own, as relative newcomers Castleknock marched on towards the quarter-finals.

Speaking to Kevin O'Brien of The42.ie after the game, Kilkenny put the magnitude of the contest into context, explaining how a defeated Alan Brogan had summed up events quite succinctly while congratulating his side's conquerors on the night:

Alan (Brogan) came into the dressing room afterwards and he said it himself that it was one of the best club games he’s ever played in.
