\nThomas Douglas of New York (L) in action against Cormac Munroe of Tyrone <\/p>\n
For the second summer running, the New York hurlers can call themselves All-Ireland champions after capturing a maiden Nickey Rackard Cup title.<\/p>\n
The Exiles only returned to Championship hurling in 2025, following a 19-year gap, and duly took the Lory Meagher Cup title.<\/p>\n
That earned Richie Hartnett’s side promotion to tier four and they have blitzed that too, knocking out Mayo in last weekend’s semi-final before overcoming Tyrone this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Thomas Douglas, a new recruit this year from Waterford, scored 0-08 while Cian Barron and AJ Willis supplied the crucial goals.<\/p>\n
There were important cameos too from former Galway star and New York captain Jonathan Glynn, who now holds the distinction of winning MacCarthy, Meagher and Rackard Cup medals.<\/p>\n
He will have the opportunity of adding a Christy Ring Cup medal in 2027 as New York’s reward for their fourth win from four games since making their Championship comeback – two in the Meagher Cup and two in the Rackard Cup – is promotion to tier three.<\/p>\n
GAA President Jarlath Burns made special mention in his presentation speech to James Breen, a New York native who come on for Glynn late in the five-point win.<\/p>\n
Lining out with eight of the team that started last year’s Lory Meagher decider, New York were boosted by the significant additions of Bill Maher and Douglas for 2026.<\/p>\n
Dual talent Maher was a key player for Tipperary when they won their landmark Munster SFC title in 2020, and scored a point here. Douglas was an important part of the De La Salle team that pushed eventual All-Ireland winners Ballygunner hard in last season’s Waterford SHC semi-final.<\/p>\n
Douglas displayed his full range of skills again with five points in the first half alone, four of those coming from frees.<\/p>\n
Willis, fresh off hitting Mayo for 3-04 last weekend, showed his unique ability to grab important goals with another net blast.<\/p>\n
Glynn did the spadework this time, outfielding Tyrone full-back Oran McKee to Conor Hammersley’s long delivery and kicking the ball off the crossbar, creating the breaking ball for Willis to gobble up and fire to the net.<\/p>\n

That was an important goal because the 23rd minute strike returned New York to the front foot having been under pressure for a period.<\/p>\n
Tyrone outscored New York by 1-04 to 0-01 between the 12th and 18th minutes to take a 1-07 to 0-07 lead.<\/p>\n
Ciar\u00e1n Magill scored the Tyrone goal from a penalty after S\u00e9amus Sweeney, played in by Shea Munroe, was brought to ground by a crude challenge from former Limerick U-21 Brian McPartland.<\/p>\n
Tyrone skipper Aidan Kelly was solid on the frees and Munroe sniped a brilliant point from an acute angle along the left endline. Kelly almost struck a 16th minute goal but his pull on a loose ball was blocked by the goalkeeper, mirroring Munroe’s earlier frustration when his snapshot struck a post.<\/p>\n
But New York weren’t under the cosh for long and finished the half strongly to take control again.<\/p>\n
The Willis goal put them one up, 1-09 to 1-08, and they picked off four points in a row from Douglas, Barron and Glynn to lead by 1-14 to 1-10 at half-time.<\/p>\n
The intensity dipped in a humdrum third quarter, at the end of which Tyrone had pared the deficit back to three points.<\/p>\n
A simmering contest came to the boil again in the closing 10 minutes, Michael Little’s goal from a 62nd minute penalty for Tyrone leaving the scores 1-19 to 2-14.<\/p>\n
It was anyone’s game now, and Tyrone had fresh momentum, but New York, crucially, slammed the door shut with their own second goal.<\/p>\n
Barron scored it, dancing across the front of the Tyrone goal line before finishing one-handed to restore a five-point advantage for New York.<\/p>\n
And substitute David Mangan brought them home with three late points, cancelling out Tyrone points from Little, Fionn Devlin and Munroe.<\/p>\n
