ANTRIM’S NAOMH ÉANNA were crowned Ulster intermediate hurling champions on a hectic day of provincial activity which also saw Mayo’s Tooreen edge out Galway’s Kinvara to secure the Connacht IHC title.
In Ulster there was dramawhen the intermediate hurling final was decided by penalties. Antrim’s Naomh Éanna and Dungannon Eoghan Ruadh of Tyrone couldn’t be separated after extra-time, with the scoreline reading 2-20 apiece as both sides prepared for penalties.
Only one goal was scored in the shootout, with Naomh Éanna coming out on top after team captain Cormac Ross slotted home the first penalty. Their Dungannon opponents bowed out after failing to convert any of their shots at goal.
It’s a first-ever intermediate provincial hurling crown for the Namoh Éanna outfit who are managed by Antrim legend Terence McNaughton.
In Connacht it was Mayo’s Tooreen who edged out Kinvara of Galway to seal the intermediate hurling crown with a five-point win.
Shane Boland produced a man-of-the-match display to steer the Mayo side to victory. Galway star Conor Whelan and Cathal Curtin both scored goals for Kinvara but it wasn’t enough to deny Tooreen’s charge for glory.
In Munster there were provincial final spots up for grabs in the intermediate football competition. Kerry’s Templenoe secured one of those places with a win over Éire Óg (Cork) while Clare’s St Breckan’s also progressed to the final after edging out Tipperary side Moycarkey-Borris.
