Kilcormac-Killoughey claim third Offaly title in a row with hard-fought victory over Shinrone

The final score was deceptive as the lead was a single point before Adam Screeney shot his only two points from play and Charlie Mitchell crowned his excellent performance with a perfectly placed shot for a goal right at the death

Offaly SHC final: Kilcormac-Killoughey 1-24 Shinrone 2-14 

In the first half it was a clinic and in the second half it was a contest – but despite Shinrone’s best efforts to reel in a double-figure deficit for the second time in three knockout games, Kilcormac-Killoughey were still crowned Offaly SHC champions for the third time in a row this afternoon.
