Half time - Conor Daly blows the half time whistle much to the frustration of Sarsfields who were on the attack. The Newbridge side lead by seven points at the break but after starting with four two pointers in the opening 15 minutes, they have three wides from beyond the arc in the last ten minutes and they will perhaps feel that they should be further ahead. Naas need a big improvement in the second half if they are to avoid their first Championship defeat since 2020 - Sarsfields 0-13 Naas 1-3
