Saturday: Kilskyre/Moylagh justified their favourites tag with a comprehensive win over Dunderry in The Senior B final at a splendid Boardsmill. Apart from the opening ten minutes in the first half the winners dominated and a Willie McGrath goal gave them a 1-9 to 0-4 half time lead. Dunderry hit the first four points of the second half but once again the North Meath outfit took control. A Darren O’Higgins goal and a string of points from Tom Shine set them up for their third championship title and promotion in three years. 

Rathmolyon ended years of heartbreak and claimed the Intermediate title in fine fashion with 11 points to spare over Clann na nGael at Kiltale. The winners led 1-8 to 0-5 at the break. Martin Forde and Stephen Mulligan got the goals while the impressive Joey Christie scored eight points.
