Mullahoran St Joseph's 4-15 Ballymachugh 0-2 Mullahoran St Joseph's eased to yet another Cavan senior hurling championship title by seeing off Ballymachugh last Saturday evening with a massive 25 points to spare at Kingspan Breffni Park. The outstanding forward displays of Philip Brady and Edward Dalton saw the pair combing for 3-7 in total, which was always going to be enough against this lacklustre Ballymachugh side who complied just two points over the hour, both coming from their young centre-forward Eugene Hill. St Joseph's hit 1-2 in the first ten minutes, with their first goal coming from Michael O'Connell, and after that they'd never look back. Despite both of Hill's singles going over in the meantime, Mullahoran brought in a 13-point lead with them at the break thanks to the contributions of Brady, Dalton and Mark McEntee. From the back Anthony Sheridan and county senior footballer Dermot Sheridan raised white flags, while Paul Sheridan was solid at centre-back. Dalton hit his second goal towards the final quarter and after Gerard Clerkin had sent over his second of the evening the full-time whistle was sounded and with it St Joseph's assured their status as Cavan's hurling kingpins.
