COUNTY senior champions were crowned in Leitrim and Westmeath over the weekend, with dramatic provincial action producing some stand-out results across the provinces. 

In the Westmeath senior championship final replay on Saturday, Milltown secured back-to-back Westmeath SFC titles defeating St Lomans by 2-12 to 2-7 with Rachel Dillon named Player of the Match.

In Leitrim, Glencar Manorhamilton claimed the senior title and a remarkable seventh successive title as they comprehensively defeated St Josephs. 

In the AIB provincial championships, the Ulster senior round-robin series continued, with Shane O’Neills, recently crowned Armagh champions at senior level for the first time, making their Ulster bow away to Cavan champions Knockbride. 

Knockbride came away with victory, winning on a1-19 to 3-10 scoreline after a riveting battle with the Armagh champions. Abby Reilly hit 1-10 for the winners. In the other Ulster Senior game, Donegal’s St Eunan’s were two-point winners over Kinawley Brian Borus of Fermanagh winning 3-12 to 2-13.

In the Leinster Senior Championship, there were two preliminary round games down for decision on Sunday. Offaly’s Ballinamere Durrow were 4-10 to 3-8 winners over Laois champions St Conleths to book their place in the quarter finals, while Eadestown were convincing winners as they saw off the challenge of Meath champions, Dunshaughlin Royal Gaels, 5-12 to 2-5 the result there.

And in the AIB Munster Senior Championship on Sunday, Cork champions Aghada overcame Tipperary’s Cahir by 6-11 to 0-10 to book a place in next weekend’s Munster semi-final against Kerry’s Southern Gaels.
