New Meath manager Eamonn Barry claimed the first trophy of his reign today after watching his side beat Offaly in the O’Byrne Cup final at Pairc Tailtean this afternoon.
Two goals from Joe Sheridan and another from Ger Robinson proved the difference in the end as the Royal County won on a scoreline of 3-14 - 0-14.
In Pairc Ui Rinn Cork claimed the McGrath Cup thanks to a 1-09 - 0-06 win over neighbours Kerry.
Youngster Kevin O’Sullivan was crucial to the win pointing five times for the Rebels.
In Casement Park a crowd of almost 20,000 turned up to see the two Ulster giants contest the McKenna Cup semi-final.
All-Ireland champions Tyrone saw off the challenge of fierce rivals Armagh, winning in the end by a mere two points.
Stephen O’Neill pointed four times in the opening half to give Mickey Harte’s men a four point lead at the break, but Armagh rallied in the second and could have won it had Stephen Kernan found the net with a golden opportunity at the death.
