Tyrone Senior Hurling Championship Final

Éire Óg, Carrickmore 1-15 Eoghan Ruadh, Dungannon 2-6

Eire Óg Carrickmore made it four Tyrone SHC titles in a row on Sunday thanks to a convincing six-point victory over great rivals Eoghan Ruadh, Dungannon.

The winners started strongly with Oisin Daly opening the scoring and then Justy Kelly following up with a goal, but Eoghan Ruadh fought back with a goal through Branan Molloy.

Éire Óg put their foot on the gas again to move 1-8 to 1-2 ahead, but Eoghan Ruadh gave themselves some hope with a goal from Kiefer Morgan late in the half that reduced the deficit to three points by the break.

It looked like the comeback was really on when Eoghan Ruadh hit the first two poins of the second-half to leave the minimum between the teams, but that’s as close as the Dungannon club would get.

Éire Óg hit the next six points in a row to move seven clear by the 51st minute, and never looked like losing it from there.
