In the curtain raiser, a 63rd minute point by Gavin Crotty, his fourth of the afternoon, gave Dungarvan a slender 0-22 to 3-12 win over Tallow after a thrilling second half.
Deise forward Thomas Ryan struck a second half hat trick to level the match for the seventh time before Crotty scored a late, late winner. Ryan finished with 3-6 but missed seven dead balls for the Bridesiders. Patrick Curran hit ten points for the Blues.
Dungarvan boss Dermot Dee admitted that they got a late scare.
