Armagh SHC Final

Middletown 0-21 Céide Lámh Dhearg 0-19

Middletown made it seven Armagh SHC titles in a row with an impressive win over Céide.

At half-time, Céide led by 0-14 to 0-10, but Middletown responded in excellent fashion after the restart.

Dean Gaffney was an inspirational figure for Middletown, contributing a 0-13 haul, as they eventually overcame rivals Céide.

After the restart, though, Middletown took command, finishing with a real flourish to retain the Armagh SHC crown.
