Ahead 0-7 to 0-3 at the turnaround, a couple of remarkable saves from goalkeeper Conor O’Neill late on were necessary before the local outfit were assured of the Killeedy GAA Perpetual Cup.

Dave Flaherty-managed Ballybrown were under the joint captaincy of Kevin Foster and Seán Healy.

Andrew Cliffe again top-scored and was recognised as the Player of the Tournament.
