County Hurling final season in full swing.

County senior hurling and camogie final season is now in full swing with the Offaly, Westmeath, Roscommon, Carlow and Waterford finals being played last weekend. There were wins for Four Roads in Roscommon, their 8th final in a row, with a 3 pt. win over Padraig Pearses. Cathal Dolan was in fine form, striking the sliotar over the bar 6 times, 3 from play. St. Mullins retained their Carlow crown with a 7 pt. win over Mt. Leinster Rangers.
Clonkill dethroned Raherney in the Westmeath decider with a 4 pt. win. Niall Dowdall got the deciding score when he drove the sliotar to the Raherney net late in the game.
Ballygunner won back to back titles in Waterford when they beat Tallow in an entertaining final before a large croud in Walsh Park. Brian O’Sullivan with 5 pts. was the main difference between the teams, showing great accuracy with the Sliotar throughout.
In Offaly, Coolderry used the long tradition of winning Senior titles to overcome a young and determined St. Rynagh’s team to win their 30th title. Rynagh’s, who came from 7 points down shortly after half time to take a 3 pt. lead with 5 mins. to go succumbed to a late Coolderry charge led by veteran Joe Brady who scored the vital goal when catching the sliotar high in the air and beating Conor Clancy in the Rynaghs goal.
