First SHC title for Mullinahone

Mullinahone 2-10 Thurles Sarsfields 1-11

In what was a highly-charged final replay watched by a crowd of 10,905, Mullinahone, inspired by the spectacular scoring of the mercurial Eoin Kelly, turned a first-half deficit of seven points into an historic two-point triumph.

And so the long famine, extending back to 1974, continues for one of Ireland's most celebrated clubs, allied to the fact that they now also have the unpalatable distinction of losing three county finals on the trot. This had never happened before.
