Hickey emerged as Kilbrittain’s hero, tagging on five points down the home stretch as the West Cork men made a winning move.
Conor Hogan scored a first-half goal for the winners who led 1-8 to 0-10 at the break. Luke Griffin scored Kilbrittain’s second goal in the second period, but Davidstown battled back to level. Then, Hickey stepped up and fired his club into an historic All-Ireland final in early January.
