Edenderry went into the game unbeaten all year and were red hot favorites but the Rhode lads knew what they were made of and what it was going to mean for them and the parish to win this match. In one of the best games ever played by a Rhode team, Rhode came out victorious after a excellent game of football and the rest is history.
