Ballyclough Edge Uibh Laoire in JBHC Final Thriller
Ballyclough were crowned Confined JBHC champions after a dramatic 3-9 to 1-14 win over Uibh Laoire in Ovens on Friday night.
David Ludgate struck the winning point deep into injury time to settle a thrilling contest that looked set for extra time. Ballyclough’s three goals ultimately proved decisive, despite a heroic 1-10 haul from Uibh Laoire’s Seamus MacUidhir.
Uibh Laoire started well with early scores from Caoimhin Ó Mainnin and Briain Ó Riordan, but Ballyclough responded with 1-4 in three minutes—Paul O’Flynn netting, followed by points from Jack Moynihan and Damien Buckley.
MacUidhir brought Uibh Laoire back into it with five unanswered points, but Ballyclough struck again—Damien Buckley and Sean O’Leary raising green flags to lead 3-4 to 0-8 at half-time.
MacUidhir’s second-half goal from a long-range free and consistent scoring drew the sides level before he edged Uibh Laoire ahead late on.
Shane Buckley equalised, before Ludgate’s cool finish clinched the title for Ballyclough, whose key performers included Moynihan, Buckley, and Denis O’Neill.

Glen Rovers Edge Out Cloyne in Dramatic Division 6 Hurling League Final
Glen Rovers Edge Out Cloyne in Dramatic Division 6 Hurling League Final
Glen Rovers emerged as RedFM Division 6 Hurling League champions after a tense and hard-fought final against Cloyne in Caherlag on Friday evening.
While the contest may not have delivered fireworks in terms of spectacle, it more than made up for it with a dramatic finish. The game’s turning point came midway through the second half when Evan Murphy found the net for Glen Rovers, swinging momentum in their favour.
However, Cloyne were far from finished. In the final three minutes of added time, they mounted wave after wave of attack, creating several scoring chances. But under intense pressure, their finishing let them down, and Glen Rovers – defending with everything they had – held firm.
For the Glen, those final moments felt like an eternity. For Cloyne, they were a story of missed opportunities. But when the final whistle sounded, it was the northsiders who celebrated a hard-earned victory and lifted the Division 6 trophy.
GLEN ROVERS:
E. O’Neill; D. Dunlea, G. Marshall, Z. Lynch; D. Coughlan (c), D. Noonan, A. O’Sullivan; G. Mulcahy (0-1), F. O’Driscoll; S. Busteed (0-1), K. McCarthy Coade (0-1), K. Kelleher; D. Long (0-1 sdl), E. Murphy (1-7, 0-6f), L. Quilligan (0-2).
Subs: N. Goulding for Long, E. O’Sullivan for Murphy (both 20-23, temp), E. O’Sullivan for Kelleher (42).
CLOYNE:
D. Cronin; J. Sherlock, J. Hallahan, A. Sherlock; E. Motherway, P. O’Sullivan, C. Mullins; A. Walshe, C. Cahill (0-3, 0-1f); B. Walsh, S. Beausang (0-1), B. O’Shea (0-9, 0-6f) (c); M. Cahill (0-1), I. Farmer, N. Cahill (0-1).
