Armagh SHC Final

Middletown Na Fianna 1-12 Keady Lámh Dhearg 0-13

Cahal Carvill's goal was the crucial score as Middletown claimed a sixth Armagh SHC title in a row at BOX-IT Athletic Grounds.

Keady Lámh Dhearg produced a defiant display, but Middletown delivered when it counted in the closing stages as Carvill's major was followed by a Martin Maguire point.

Following a well contested opening period, Keady, with Marc Toal prominent, departed armed with a 0-10 to 0-7 advantage.

After the restart Nathan Curry (2) and Carvill landed points to restore parity.

Keady, though, continued to battle as Barry Shortt and Conor Corvan rifled over points, guiding them 0-12 to 0-10 ahead.

Middletown, though, remained cool under pressure as Carvill's goal ensured they retained the Armagh SHC titl.
