Oulart-The Ballagh came from behind to get the better of Cloughbawn and retain their Wexford SHC title in Innovate Wexford Park.

As the newly appointed Model County boss Davy Fitzgerald watched on, Frank Flannery's charges were made to sweat before finishing on the right side of the 0-16 to 1-11 scoreline.

They had faced a 0-6 to 0-7 deficit at the half-time interval.

In Netwatch Cullen Park, Marty Kavanagh and Seamus Murphy netted the goals as St Mullins won their third Carlow SHC title on the trot at the expense of Mount Leinster Rangers.

Kavanagh's first-half effort gave his side a narrow 1-6 to 0-8 advantage at the halfway stage and Murphy's green flag saw them pull away in the closing stages.

Meanwhile, Four Roads overcame the concession of three first-half goals to rescue a draw against Oran in the Roscommon SHC showpiece.

It finished Four Roads 0-17, Oran 3-8.

There was a similar outcome in the Wicklow decider as Carnew Emmets hit three points unanswered points to earn themselves a second bite of the cherry against Bray Emmets.

The Aughrim scoreboard read Bray Emmets 1-9, Carnew Emmets 0-12 at the full-time whistle.

Across the water, Robert Emmetts proved too strong for St Gabriels (2-13 to 1-12) in the London SHC final at Greenford.
