Killoe ladies were crowned Intermediate football champions for 2025 with a comprehensive win over Ballymore in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Saturday.
Killoe . . . 4-14 Ballymore . . . 0-9
The result was never in doubt as Ballymore, last year’s Junior A champions, never got going.
Killoe were led from start to finish by the inspirational Niamh Brady, who scored the magnificent tally of 2-8 (6 frees).
Killoe were determined to atone for last year’s final defeat to Carrickedmond.
Fiona Toher’s excellent captain’s speech after the game showed how much this win meant to the side managed by Liam Higgins.
