Tony Kelly pointed the way to glory for Ballyea today to help them secure their first ever senior provincial title.
The Clare attacker hit five from play against Glen Rovers, who fought back from a nine-point deficit in the second half. But despite two early goals after the restart, the Cork champions couldn't bridge the gap enough to edge them in front at the final whistle in Semple Stadium.

Today's 1-21 to 2-10 victory marks a clean sweep of historical achievements for Ballyea in 2016. After claiming their first senior county title, they progressed to get a major scalp over Thurles Sarsfields in the Munster semi-final to book a place in their first senior provincial decider.
