Bradley scored 1-3 before the break and helped to cancel out Seamus Moynihan's 23rd-minute goal for the 2006 team to leave the teams tied at 1-7 at the interval.

However, Mickey Harte's team pulled away in the second half of what was one of the more competitive All-Star encounters of recent years.

Although Alan Brogan and James Masters added goal strikes for the '06 selection, second-half goals from Seán Cavanagh (2) and another from Bradley allowed the '05 team to run out six-point winners.

The game marked the last top-level outing for Peter Canavan, Seamus Moynihan and Mike McCarthy who have all retired from the intercounty scene.
