WATCH: The incredible sideline cut that sealed All-Ireland victory for Mooncoin!

Martin O'Neill gets ready to take on the monster sideline cut - video below!

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

A remarkable sideline cut from Mooncoin magician Martin O'Neill helped seal a famous victory for the South Kilkenny men in yesterday's All-Ireland Junior Club Final against Cork's Ballygiblin.

O'Neill stood over the shot from 70 yards out and given the historic weight of the occasion, deep into injury time, taking it couldn't have been easy - but that's exactly how he made it look!

After what was a cracking final, Mooncoin become the 10th club from Kilkenny to win at the junior grade since its inception.

The success will taste very sweet after they were on the wrong end of a similar result when losing out to Mayfield in 2017.

Ballygiblin threw everything at Mooncoin on the day as they tried to force an equaliser but the Kilkenny side stood tall to hold out for a famous victory.
