That was the biggest cheer of the day for Dunloy. They got the opportunity, and they need to take every one that comes their way now if they want to win this game.

That's a great turnover from Dunloy as Richie Reid loses the ball and Ronan Molloy knocks over a fine point to bring the Cuchullains to within one with 10 minutes remaining.

But the Shamrocks edge two ahead once more thanks to Eoin Cody - they needed that one. It's getting seriously tense in here now.

Dunloy got a big turnover and they keep continuing to use their legs, which is causing Ballyhale trouble.

Decky Smith is on for Nicky McKeague for Dunloy with the Antrim champions just a point behind after a Conal Cunning free.

However, TJ Reid's latest effort from a placed ball is predictably thumped between the posts.

Two points in it with 14 minutes left.

Dunloy boss Gregory O'Kane will be thinking of dipping into his bench at this stage.

They're only two points behind but you feel they may need a goal to win this one.

That's a cracking score from Dunloy wing-back Eamon Smyth from out near the right sideline from nearly 70 metres.

Lovely score.

However, an Eoin Cody effort is deflected out and TJ Reid drills the resultant 65' between Ryan Elliott's posts for his fifth score of the day (four from placed balls).

Still three points in it.

The sides exchange scores from placed balls before Eoin Kenneally puts Ballyhale three in front.

Dunloy need to throw everything into this one now and keep the likes of Eoin Cody as quiet as possible.

Right, 30 minutes for Dunloy to save their All-Ireland dream.

We do have a game here and that's exactly what we wanted when we arrived. Ballyhale will always create chances and it's about how you survive them. How good were Dunloy good at moving that ball short?

A couple of Dunloy scores halves the deficit to two points at the end of the half, although Nicky McKeague missed a decent chance in the last play there.

Ballyhale have looked increasingly dangerous but Dunloy have done well to keep the Kilkenny side within reach.

Ballyhale look like they are going for it now. That looked liked it was going to be a guaranteed goal.

Brilliant save from Ryan Elliott to deny Eoin Cody a second goal but the referee calls it back for a foul on Colin Fennelly and TJ Reid smacks a free over the bar.

Cody knocks another one over quickly and it's a four-point lead for Ballyhale with two minutes left of the first half.

Eoin Cody drills one between the posts from out on the right as the favourites stretch their lead to three points.

Dunloy are still well in this but this has been a decent five-minute spell from Ballyhale.

A lot of the balls are 50/50 so it's a real battle at the minute.

Another excellent solo effort from Dunloy, this time from corner-back Oran Quinn, sees the Antrim champions edge ahead.

A ripple of applause for Paul Shiels who splits the post with a superb score after a nice solo between the 45 and 65 metre lines.

Dunloy's first score since the goal and they level the game.

Colin Fennelly wins a '65 for Ballyhale which is duly knocked over by TJ Reid.

The Shamrocks edge ahead in the 10th minute. It's quietening down a bit after a fairly frantic start.

A couple of quick Ballyhale scores draws the Kilkenny kingpins level.

Exciting start to this one.

What a great goal. They made the right pass and the run off the shoulder was timed to perfection. It's a great start for Dunloy and a goal early doors will help a team settle in.
