Shane Thompson scored both crucial goals as Killoe Emmet Og captured the Padraic Gearty Cup with five points to spare over Ardagh/Moydow in the Reserve Football League 3 Final at the Higginstown grounds, Granard on Wednesday evening.
Killoe Emmet Og . . . 2-9 Ardagh/Moydow . . . 0-10
In an entertaining encounter, the matchwinner Thompson scored the opening goal in first half stoppage time to put Killoe ahead for the first time in the game (1-4 to 0-5) and he found the back of the net again four minutes into the second half.
Ardagh/Moydow trailed by nine points with 41 minutes gone on the clock and while they worked hard to close the gap they were always fighting a real uphill battle once the second goal was conceded.
