O’Mahony the ace as Lough are denied the double

Ballyphehane 1-9 Lough Rovers 0-6

There wasn’t a lot between the sides in terms of skill and ability, but, in corner-forward Alan O’Mahony, Ballyphehane had a match-winner. His 1-5 contribution went a long way to winning the contest, though it was also a game both sides will look back on for the amount of chances wasted.

Ballyphehane selector Timmy Walsh was over the moon his side had captured their first title since 1992 afterwards and signalled their involvement in the South East League as the main reason for their success. “Yeah, the extra games have been great, it sharpened the lads up big time and got us in he right frame to win the cup. The lads put in a great effort and I though we deserved our victory.”
