Naas Sean Gainey races clear from the chasing Gerry Keegan Celbridge during the UPMC Senior Hurling Championship Final
Naas are the Kildare senior hurling champions for the third time in a row but had to fight all the way to finally get the better of a very game Celbride side who led throughout the first half and only lost the lead in the 51 minute to a Simon Lacey goal.
Celbridge led at the brek 1-6 to 0-6.
However it was the brillilant free-taking of Jack Sheridan that proved the difference, the Naas hit a dozen points, many for huge distances and in the end that was the difference between the teams.
