Naas weren't the only team upsetting the Leinster hurling apple cart this Saturday, a day when the status quo of the intermediate competition was also turned upside down.
The Kilkenny champs have historically been the kingpins of this grade but, just as Naas knocked Glenmore out of it last year, Trim repeated the trick by defeating Richie Hogan's Danesfort in Nowlan Park today.
The Meath champs hurled well against the wind in the first half and, having only trailed by two points at half-time, they kicked onto win by 0-16 to 0-15 in the end. Corner forward Mikey Cole was very impressive for them on the day.
Meanwhile, in what was surely the tie of the round, Dublin's senior three champs Naomh Barróg of Kilbarrack defeated hot favourites Oulart-the-Ballagh of Wexford after a penalty shoot-out. The teams couldn't be separated by extra-time, with 2-22 to 1-25 the final score, but the Dubs' held their nerve to win 3-2 on penalties.
