Slevin calls the tune as Kilcormac/Killoughey claim historic first Offaly senior title

Captain fantastic Ciarán Slevin hit 1-9 as Kilcormac/Killoughey claimed their first Offaly SHC title at O’Connor Park, Tullamore yesterday.

The victors trailed St Rynagh’s 1-7 to 2-8 at the interval and were still a goal adrift before cutting loose between the 37th and 50th minutes, hitting 1-6 without reply.

The catalyst for this superb scoring blitz was Slevin’s magnificent pointed free from over 100m and he added four more points during this blistering spell and they eventually won 2-16 to 2-8.
