“We had to concentrate on our preparations regardless and focus on the game, but when word came through on Con it was obviously very positive news for us to get,” says Cuala manager Austin O’Malley.on Saturday, a journey hundreds of Cuala fans will also be taking after a train was chartered by the club from Dalkey Station to Newbridge.
The former Mayo and Wicklow footballer has done a superb job with the club in recent seasons, culminating in last month’s first senior football title triumph. The provincial club double has been achieved in Munster and Ulster, and while several teams have got within touching distance of winning both Leinster titles, ultimately Na Fianna , Kilmacud Crokes , UCD , and Portlaoise all came up short in hurling finals.
The problem for Naas has been Kilmacud Crokes. Their interest in the provincial championship was ended by the Dublin side in each of the last three years – including two defeats in Leinster finals, 2021 and 2023. However, Naas will see this season as possibly their best opportunity of getting over the line in Leinster.
