Eire Og, Carrickmore 1-19
Eoghan Ruadh, Dungannon 0-9

Eire Og enjoyed a surprisingly comfortable victory over three-in-a-row chasing Eoghan Ruadh in yesterday's Tyrone SHC final at Healy Park.

The Carrickmore side produced a dominant second half display to lift the Benburb Cup for a 22nd time with free-taker Aidan Kelly helping himself to 0-9.

The teams were level four times in the opening half, with Matthew Morgan impressive for Dungannon, but Eire Og took a 0-8 to 0-6 lead into the break thanks to scores from Kelly and Sean Og Grogan.

Kelly and Grogan kept the scoreboard operator busy in a one-sided second half. Eoghan Ruadh's misery was compounded by the late dismissal of midfielder Martin Devlin on a second yellow card.
