KILMOYLEY retained the Garvey’s SuperValu County Senior Hurling Championship title after last Saturday’s replayed final, at Austin Stack Park before an attendance of 2,745, when they defeated Ballyduff by 1-18 to 2-13. This was Kilmoyley’s 24th title and puts them joint top in the SHC Roll of Honour with Ballyduff.

Team captain, Aiden McCabe, received Corn Neilus Ó Floinn from Patrick O’Sullivan, Cathaoirleach Choiste Contae Chiarrai, C.L.G. while the Man of the Match Award went to the Kilmoyley centre forward Shane Brick – his fourth time to receive this accolade, having done so previously in the finals of 2001, 2003 and 2004.
