Damien Cahalane's penalty shootout heroics saw Castlehaven crowned Munster club football champions on Sunday and led to the inter-county hurler hailing the day as one of the best of his life.
Daingean Uí Chúis and Cahalane's side were locked on 0-13 each after extra-time, with the 31-year-old replacing Darragh Cahalane in goal for the dramatic denouement.
As a deluge which would have prompted Noah to count in twos battered the TUS Gaelic Grounds, Cahalane converted two penalties of his own and made the crucial save from Kerry All-Star Tom O'Sullivan.
Cahalane enjoyed considerable success between the sticks with Greenwood as a schoolboy, where Ireland international John Egan was one of his team-mates, prompting his switch to goal when penalties arrived.
"Darragh had done a great job in goal all game," the three-time Munster SHC winner told RTÉ Sport.
"We had made a decision that if it came down to penalties, maybe I'd step in goal.
"I played a lot of soccer in goal at underage and we said we'd give it a shot. It was a shot to nothing and it worked out.
"When it comes down to that stage, it's a bit of a lottery and a horrible way to lose a game, but we got over the line in the end and it's great."
A mainstay of the Cork hurling side since 2012, Cahalane hurls for St Finbarr's but has been a stalwart for his famous father's football club since the underage grades.
His Dad Niall, an All-Star defender and two-time All-Ireland winner, was part of the Castlehaven team that won three Munster championship in 1989, 1994 and 1997. Now, they've added a fourth and Cahalane the younger was grateful to emulate those "heroes".
Castlehaven twice trailed by three points, but Cahalane never doubted his team-mates' resolve.
"This group, there's so much character, we never say die and it's where we're from, what's inside us, where we were bred.
"It's an absolutely special place and special people make it.
"This is one of the best days of my life.
"We've got to a place where our heroes have gone before us.
"It wasn't pretty. It won't be remembered as a game of savage football, but that's not going to to take away from the occasion and what it means to us."
