And leading scorer Hefferan hit the second four minutes later. He latched on to a long clearance by keepeer Neil Sullivan, which cleared the back four, and drilled a low shot into the net.
But Bristol hit back in the second half, Richard Walker equalising with a 49th penalty after Sammy Igoe had been obstructed and Igoe himself getting the 62nd-minute equaliser which was to take the final into extra-time.
Sean O’Driswcoll’s men grabbed the winner 1o minutes from the end of extra-time, skipper Graeme Lee heading home.
