Our Lady's, Castleblayney 2-10
St. Ciaran's, Ballygawley needed an injury-time goal from Callum Corrigan to secure their first MacLarnon Cup with victory over Our Lady's, Castleblayney at the Athletic Grounds.
Trailing by 0-11 to 2-7 at the interval, the Tyrone outfit made good use of the wind in the second half to claim a famous win. Our Lady's, who were seeking their second title in three years, made a dream start when James Wilson netted after only 12 seconds. David Hanley raised a second green flag in the 14th minute as the Monaghan boys held sway at half-time.

But Ballygawley gradually gained the upper hand after the restart as points form Darragh Canavan, Tomas Hoy Pascal Donaghy and Joe Oguz edged them ahead before Corrigan's late strike settled it.
