At the Athletic Grounds in Armagh today, it was a six-point success for St Mary’s in a game where they were in front 0-8 to 0-6 at the break. St Colman’s rallied in the second half to trail at one stage by 0-15 to 0-13 in a game where they were chasing their 20th title.

But St Mary’s finished strongly to hit four unanswered points and seal a famous success.
