KILCORMAC/KILLOUGHEY DEFEATED St Rynagh’s by 2-16 to 1-16 in the Offaly senior hurling championship final in an entertaining affair.
Kilcormac/Killoughey were without experienced forward Dan Currams but they raced into a 2-10 to 0-5 half-time lead in front of 6,117.
Ciaran Slevin and Thomas Geraghty hit the net for the eventual winners in the opening half, but St Rynagh’s turned things around after the break and fought back to within two points with nine minutes left.
Joey O’Connor, wing-back with the county footballers, bagged a 51st minute goal to give the Banagher outfit hope, but Kilcormac/Killoughey held out for their fourth ever title.

Well done to Stephen for sharing his story, the mind is a powerful thing and the effects our thoughts can have on our body. I’m sure anorexia is more prevalent than we think with males and does not only affect females. Glad he has come out the other side and his life is going well now.
Immense inner strength to come through it all and hugely considerate and brave to share his journey in the hope of helping others.
Well done Stephen… You battled through and you’ll have a lifelong benefit from the struggle you’ve endured. Best of luck with the rest of your life and of course Round Towers (Lusk) too.
5 and a half stone is 35kg. Let’s say your an 18 year old and ur 83kg and u lose that much then you’re 48kg. Thats really unhealthy and if u don’t eat enough food then youll have no energy for exercise. Sounds awful
@Eoin Murphy:
Definitely a tough station.
His starting weight was 114kg & he lost 35kg to bring him down to 79kg which is very light for a man of his frame.
Some mental battle to win.
@Liam H: sorry i missed that part its a long article. There are some third years in the rugby who weigh more than without an ounce of fat
