Mellifont came out a different team in the 2nd half and scored 5 pts without reply and reduced the margin by 3 with 15 mins gone in 2nd half.Blues defended brilliantly and when R.Guildea landed a great point to stem the tide,Blues moved up a gear and played some great flowing football.Further goals from K.Carr,J McDonnell and C.Downey killed off the Mellifont challenge,and so ended a 19 yr wait for the Peter Judge Cup amid Jubilant scenes at the final whistle.This was a brilliant team effort by a very talented bunch of players.
