It was at roughly the same mark in either half of Sunday's Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor hurling final that Ruben Davitt left two decisive marks on an historic occasion for Galway hurling.
Following Kilkenny (1960-62), Cork (1937-39, 1969-71) and Tipperary (1932-34, 1955-57), the Galway minors recorded a third successive All-Ireland triumph on Sunday's opening clash in Croke Park.
Ruben Davitt, an Oranmore-Maree club player contesting his first All-Ireland decider at minor level, contributed 1-02 from play as Galway ran out 3-14 to 0-12 winners on a poor day for Kilkenny all round.
Easily overlooked in what turned out to be the most emphatic of Galway's three triumphs, it was the particular nature of Davitt's scores that aroused the most interest; with one eye inevitably on what the young forward may give Galway hurling in the years to come.
Trailing Kilkenny by a point after a slow start to yesterday's final, a speculative pass looped toward the Kilkenny goal found Davitt alive to the possibilities of the breaking ball.
An exciting demonstration of his awareness, it was in the young forward's close control and deadly finish of the ball without ever bringing it to hand that brought a roar up in Croke Park.

Pushing Galway two-points ahead of their opponents, it was a lead they would never relinquish.
The further they moved beyond Kilkenny, the more Galway seemed a certainty to retain their title and make history.
With Seán McDonagh contributing most of Galway's scores from a range of frees, one '65 and a first-half penalty, as Davitt converted his second outstanding score of the day, it served primarily as a reminder of his side's superiority.
In the ninth-minute of the second-half, Davitt secured possession under the Hogan stand.
Were he to get off a quick pass to one of his nearby teammates a score would have certainly been on. Yet, burned by their earlier experience of the speedy corner-forward, Kilkenny left no such avenue open to him.
Hemmed in by William Halpin and Peter McDonald, Ruben Davitt nevertheless found a way.

With Galway's lead stretched to nine-points, the game was well and truly gone.
Outscoring their opponents 1-4 to 0-5 across the remaining 20-minutes, the scale of Galway's win will have fans wondering what's in store for these players in the future.
Of the most recent minor team to achieve the feat Galway matched on Sunday afternoon, Cork, with their three wins across the late '60s and early '70s remain a benchmark for what can happen if a county is particularly fortunate.
With the completion of the minor treble in 1971, Cork's golden generation of youngsters Martin O'Doherty, Brian Murphy, Seánie O'Leary, Tim Crowley, and the great Jimmy Barry-Murphy contributed massively to their county's success.
An astounding feat that will take some matching, for now at least, Galway may dream.
