Ballyhale Shamrocks were appearing in their third final in a decade, while Kilmallock were lining out in their second All-Ireland decider ever and their first since 1993. It was an evenly contested game for most of the first half, but missed opportunities cost Kilmallock dear. They shot 10 first-half wides in total, with Paudie O'Brien, who opened their scoring early on, going on to shoot four wides. Ballyhale were much more efficient when attacking, and Colin Fennelly opened his account before Eoin Reid pointed to put them 0-6 to 0-3 ahead. Fennelly's 27th-minute goal put serious daylight between them for the first time. T. J. Reid added another free on the stroke of half-time to leave the Leinster champions with a healthy 1-7 to 0-4 advantage. In the second half Kilmallock failed to score a point from play. In contrast, Ballyhale added another 11 points to their tally and corner-back Alan Cuddihy even got on the scoresheet with captain T. J. Reid tallying 0-6 and describing the win as "a dream come true" in his victory speech.http://www.the42.ie/ballyhale-kilmallock-live-1996545-Mar2015/ Ballyhale Shamrocks 1-18 Kilmallock 1-6: as it happened 17 March 2015 The 42 7 August 2015 Ballyhale's All-Ireland victory was their first since 2010.
