Kilanerin will now go on to face Michael Glavey’s of Roscommon in the All-Ireland semi-finals in January.
In a tight encounter, Kilanerin and Ballyboughal were level on 0-5 each at half-time in today’s provincial decider.
Ballyboughal moved into a 0-10 to 0-8 lead heading into the final quarter but Kilanerin finished strongly, kicking five unanswered points — four of which came from the boot of a 2004 All-Star, 38-year-old Mattie Forde — to take control.
Ballyboughal were awarded a penalty late on which offered them the opportunity to tie the game up, but the Dublin side could only manage a point with their attempt and Kilanerin emerged victorious.
We conquered Leinster like the vikings, Normans and a few others
