St Thomas' threw the kitchen sink at it late on, moving Conor Cooney into the full-forward line but they couldn't rescue the game and slipped to an agonising defeat, their third in a row. Three minutes later, the margin was out to six points at 1-10 to 0-7 following Molloy's expert solo goal when he took off through the centre of the St Thomas' defence, following a terrific fetch and lay-off by Nigel Elliott, and volleyed to the corner. All of those missed opportunities meant that it was St Thomas' who led by 0-5 to 0-3 after the opening quarter though, with a string of wides themselves, they were less than impressive.

Dunloy stun St Thomas' in All-Ireland semi-final (BBC Sport)

Dunloy reach the All-Ireland Club Hurling Final as they shock Galway champions St Thomas' 1-14 to 0-13 at Croke Park.

Substitute Anton McGrath's point immediately extended the Cuchullains' lead to six before a frantic St Thomas' finally managed a period of fluency as they fired four unanswered scores to leave two in it with seven minutes of normal time remaining. Molloy's 26th-minute score which cut the St Thomas' lead to 0-5 to 0-4 was the first score in 10 minutes, with Nigel Elliott' missed goal chance coming seconds later as he failed to connect properly with a first-time pull after the sliotar had broken in his direction. Dunloy stunned Galway champions St Thomas' as they earned a deserved 1-14 to 0-13 victory in the All-Ireland Club Hurling semi-final at Croke Park.
