However, a three-goal to two final term secured the victory for the Xavs in a game which could have gone either way.

Thomas Wynne dominated for the Xavs with three goals, while Hamish Morris starred in a best-on-ground performance.

Patrick Martin led from the front for Bernard’s, kicking four of his side’s 11 goals.

The two best teams throughout the home and away fixture, Xavs and Bernard’s finished one and two heading into finals.
