Corofin’s three-year wait for a senior title ended as they overcame defending champions Moycullen by 1-11 to 1-9. A Tony Gill goal sealed the title with manager, Sligo man Kevin Johnson, winning titles in Sligo, Mayo and Galway.
St Thomas’s won their sixth title in a row, equalling Turloughmore’s record set in the 1960s, beating Turloughmore by 2-12 to 1-13. Eanna Burke score 2-2 from play to see his side over the line in a tight affair.
Mohill avenged last year’s final defeat to St Mary’s by 2-10 to 0-14 in a hard-fought battle. Ronan Kennedy and Keith Beirne hit late points to defeat last year’s winners.
Carrick won back-to-back titles as they held off a late Cluainìn surge to win by two points, 1-13 to 1-11. James McNabola scored 1-2 to help his side retain the title.
Ballina Stephenites became the most successful team in SFC history defeating Breaffy in a dour final to win a 37th title. They scored once in the second half but edged it 0-6 to 0-4.
Tooreen won a third title in a row defeating near neighbours Ballyhanuis 0-13 to 0-8. Tooreen had a one-point lead at the halfway mark but Shane Boland, Kenny Feeney and Seàn Kenny secured a sixth title in seven years.
St Brigid’s survived a late Boyle rally to win their 18th senior title. Jerome Stack’s side were four up with 11 minutes to go but Boyle weren’t finished. The last kick of the game was an underhit free by Boyle’s Cian McKeon.
Four Roads remain the kingpins, beating Athleague 0-26 to 2-12. Cathal Dolan led the way for the reigning champions with a total of 0-11.
Coolera-Strandhill reclaimed the SFC crown for the first time since 2005 when they defeated first time finalists Molaise Gaels 0-11 to 0-8. Niall Murphy scored five points to help lead his side to lift the Owen B Hunt Cup.
Easkey won a fourth title in a row, beating Naomh Eoin 0-22 to 1-15. This was the fifth consecutive meeting of the two sides in the final with Andy Kilcullen scoring 0-15.
Colm Collins is still working magic with Cratloe’s first county in nine years bearing his fingerprints. Cathal McInerney kicked 1-6 (0-3 frees) in their 1-10 to 1-8 final win over St Breckan’s.
Micheál O’Loughlin was the man for Clonlara as they claimed a first title since 2008, beating Crusheen by 3-18 to 2-16. O’Loughlin hit 2-9 while Colm Galvin bagged the other goal to help them to their third title.
The third member of Cork football’s triumvirate, Castlehaven, finally got in on the act to bridge a 10-year gap. The Hurley brothers Brian and Michael shared 0-10 to sink Nemo’s back-to-back bid on a 0-11 to 0-9 scoreline.
Sarsfields lost one of their most famous sons in Teddy McCarthy in June, but they honoured his memory in style, defeating Midleton by 0-21 to 0-19 for a seventh title. 0-12 from Aaron Myers and 0-4 from man-of-the-match, Cathal McCarthy, helped them to their first title since 2014.
East Kerry’s fourth title in five years sat in the shadow of ongoing criticism surrounding the championship format. Goals from Paudie Clifford and Luke Crowley saw the holders past Mid Kerry 2-10 to 0-15.
Crotta O'Neill's won their first title in 55 years, defeating favourites Lixnaw by 0-15 to 1-9 in the decider in early September. Shane Nolan and Jordan Conway did most of the damage, sharing 0-8 equally between them.
A first ever three-in-a-row for Newcastle West. They are unbeaten in 21 championship games. Their latest success, achieved at Adare’s expense on a 3-5 to 0-13 scoreline, was achieved without 2022 All-Star nominee Cian Sheehan (travelling).
Na Piarsaigh retained their crown with a 1-20 to 0-19 win over Patrickswell, securing them their third title of the decade. A Peter Casey goal helped them to a 1-8 to 0-7 half time lead, and from there they did enough for an eighth crown.
Same old, same old. Back-to-back for Clonmel Commercials, a fourth in five years, and sixth in nine years. They put six goals past JK Brackens to retain their crown with 13 to spare. A key cog in this year’s wheel is Wicklow manager Oisín McConville, who is part of the backroom team.
It took a replay, but Kiladangan eventually saw off the challenge of aristocrats, Thurles Sarsfields, to claim the Dan Breen Cup for the second time. A late Willie Connors point forced a draw in their opening encounter, while it was a goal from Seán Hayes that eventually earned them a 1-21 to 1-20 victory second day out.
Swept redemption for Rathgormack, who had lost the last three finals. They beat the Nire 1-9 to 0-6 despite losing county midfielder Michael Curry to a red card on 35 minutes. They finished with 13 as Conor Walsh was black carded in injury-time.
1-8 from Pauric Mahony helped Ballygunner win a tenth successful title as a 2-26 to 0-21 victory over De La Salle further established their hegemony. They’ve won 53 games on the spin in the competition while the city side have thrice fallen to them at the final hurdle during this period.
Eire Og's 31st county title only came after a struggle. They were 3-1 behind at one stage of their semi-final penalty shoot-out win over Rathvilly. They lost a group game too though Tailteann Cup All-Star Ross Dunphy's 1-4 on final day eased them beyond Tinryland.
Mount Leinster Rangers regained the trophy from St Mullins’ with a 3-19 to 1-17 victory. Chris Nolan was awarded man of the match in the final for the fourth time in six years, scoring 1-9.
Kilmacud Crokes completed their first ever SFC three-in-a-row and saved their season's best for the final, beating favourites Ballyboden St Enda's by 1-14 to 0-9. Galway All-Star Shane Walsh struck the killer goal for the reigning All-Ireland champions.
A breakthrough first title for Na Fianna as they returned the trophy to the northside with a 2-19 to 0-9 win over Ballyboden St Enda’s. The Currie brothers, Seán and Colin, combined for 2-15 of that total.
Joe Murphy's Naas secured the first Kildare three-in-a-row since Sarsfields did it in the 1950s. They hung tough in the last quarter of the final against Celbridge to win by 0-13 to 0-11. Darragh Kirwan struck 0-4 and is a key man in their ongoing Leinster quest.
A fifth success in a row for Naas and the first leg of another hurling and football double. They beat Coill Dubh by 3-13 to 0-11 with cousins Jack Sheridan (2-8) and Brian Byrne (1-2) doing the damage.
The final eventually took place on June 30. A couple of late goals earned Mullinavat a comeback win against Thomastown, back-to-back titles and a seventh county crown in all.
Paddy Deegan’s winning point saw O’Loughlin Gaels dethrone All-Ireland champions Ballyhale Shamrocks in a 0-20 to 0-19 nail-biter. A fifth title for the city side and one of the hardest-earned.
It wasn't particularly pretty but after 23 years of waiting for a breakthrough win, St Joseph's didn't make any apologies for their 0-7 to 0-6 final defeat of Portlaoise. Eoghan O'Flaherty, the former Kildare player, hit 0-3 for them in that gruelling showpiece.
An incredible 15-minute hat-trick from Tomás ‘Mossy’ Keyes finished it early as Camross claimed their 27th championship with a 4-18 to 0-14 hammering of Abbeyleix St Lazerian’s.
An entertaining final went all the way and it took a Mark Hughes point deep into stoppage time to tip the balance in favour of Emmet Og Killoe, 1-8 to 0-10. Another feather in the cap for much travelled manager Luke Dempsey who engineered a 14th title for Killoe.
Clonguish Gaels defended their crown, beating Longford Slashers by 2-14 to 1-14. Their top scorers were captain Stephen Gregg and Limerick-native Bart Hanley with 1-3 each.
St Mary's Ardee came from seven points back to defeat Naomh Mairtin in the final. County man Daire McConnon's five points from play helped seal their 12th title in all.
Dual star Paul Mathews fired two early goals as St Fechin’s powered to a 3-20 to 1-14 victory over Naomh Moninne. That completes a three-in-a-row for the Termonfeckin team.
Summerhill required extra-time to overcome Ratoath by 0-22 to 1-13 in the showpiece but after four final losses since their previous win in 2013 what's an extra 20 minutes? Their early Leinster exit prompts a question though - why are Meath clubs so ill equipped for provincial duty?
An astonishing year of success for rural Kildalkey whose three teams won the senior, intermediate, and junior titles. A late surge clinched the senior final by 0-19 to 0-16 from Ratoath.
Tullamore beat Ferbane in a gruelling final by 1-5 to 0-6, the lowest return in an Offaly final since the 1960s. Luke Plunkett's first quarter goal separated the teams on a day when defences dominated. Tullamore's 29th title leaves them two behind pace setters Rhode.
The future looks bright for Kilcormac-Killoughey as Offaly underage stars Charlie Mitchell and Adam Screeney helped them gain revenge on Shinrone, running out 3-26 to 3-8 winners.
In their ninth consecutive county final, St Loman's drew on their big-game experience to see off Coralstown-Kinnegad. Late John Heslin and TJ Cox points secured a tense 0-9 to 0-7 win, the Mullingar club's seventh title in the last decade. A Leinster club final appearance is within their grasp too.
A stoppage-time stunner brought joy to Raharney as Killian Doyle’s winning goal saw off unfancied Lough Lene Gaels by 2-19 to 2-17. The 2022 All-Star nominee contributed 1-11 overall.
These are boom times for Shelmaliers. They only reached their first senior final in 2018 but have now claimed three titles. Their latest arrived courtesy of a gutsy 1-12 to 1-11 final win over Castletown, who beat them in the 2022 decider. Paul Hearne's 1-1 was crucial.
Naomh Éanna captured their second title back in August, inspired once again by Conor McDonald. He lifted the Dr RJ Bowe Cup as captain after dispatching Oylegate-Glenbrien by 2-18 to 2-12.
Blessington required a replay to see off Rathnew. Their eventual 0-11 to 1-6 win allowed them to take home the Miley Cup for just the fourth time in their history. Trailing at half-time, a third quarter burst of scoring proved decisive for Brian Cardiff's side.
Leinster intermediate champions Bray Emmets created history by wrapping up five in a row with a 1-15 to 2-10 victory over Carnew Emmets. Their goal came in the first minute from Eoin McCormack.
Cargin overcame the loss of red-carded Eunan Quinn after just 21 minutes to retain the title at Dunloy’s expense. Teenager Conhuir Johnston was the hero with a brace of goals in the 2-10 to 0-11 win.
Dunloy were favourites to complete a first-ever five in-a-row in Antrim, but they were outclassed by Loughgiel in the semi-final. The Shamrocks couldn’t finish the job though, Paddy Burke and Ryan McCambridge starring in a 1-20 to 1-19 final win for Cushendall – an emotional occasion given the loss of their club icon John McKillop in July.
Crossmaglen secured their third title in five years with a stunning second-half performance to defeat Lurgan outfit Clan na Gael 2-16 to 0-07. With Oisin O’Neill returning from a long injury lay-off, captain Jamie Clarke and Ronan Fitzpatrick found the net as they won the second half by 13 points.
Middletown’s domination of Armagh hurling continued, but they were given a firm test by perennial rivals Keady in the decider. The game was finally balanced heading into the last 10 minutes, but Conor Gormley’s goal helped the Na Finna to a 1-15 to 0-11 win – their fifth title on the trot.
Gowna produced one of the most emphatic finals win as they defeated Kingscourt Stars 5-15 to 0-13 to retain their title – and with eight starters 21 or under the future is definitely bright. Tiarnan Madden hit two of their goals with Ryan Brady, Oisin Pierson and Darragh McConnon also raising green flags.
Cootehill Celtic completed a three-in-a-row with a 2-19 to 3-14 win over East Cavan Gaels. Micheál Boyle’s side were thankful for goals from Thomas Leonard and star player on the day, Mark Moffett, as they claimed their eighth Breffni crown.
Glen’s incredible success at underage level has been replicated at senior level with a first-ever championship in 2021 turning into a three-in-a-row in 2023. Magherafelt started strongly in the final and were three ahead well into the first half, but Glen eventually won 1-13 to 0-07.
It was all too easy for Slaughtneil once again as they claimed an 11th title on the spin following a 3-23 to 1-9 win over Kevin Lynch's. A second-half hat-trick from Brendan Rogers added the gloss.
Naomh Conaill won a fourth title in five years following a storming 1-16 to 1-8 win over Gaoth Dobhair in what was a seventh straight final for the Glenties men. They led by seven points at the break and sealed the deal through a Charlie McGuinness goal in front of his watching uncle Jim.
Setanta hit the net four times as they retained their Donegal title with a 4-13 to 0-13 win over St Eunan’s. Gerard Gilmore grabbed his ninth goal of the campaign to set them on the way with Declan Coulter also on target from a penalty before a second-half double from Ruairi Campbell.
The final was overshadowed by a major refereeing controversy but when the full-time whistle sounded, it was business as usual as Kilcoo steamrolled Burren, 2-12 to 0-9. Miceal Rooney and Paul Devlin with the goals as the Magpies won an 11th title in 12 years.
Portaferry’s strong finish saw them keep hold of the title after a 0-20 to 0-16 win over Ballycran. The ‘Cran led by the minimum at the sides switched ends, but Portaferry were one ahead as additional time began. Points from Tom Murray, Tom McGrattan and Eoin Sands killed off the contest.
Derrygonnelly’s season looked over at the semi-final stage as they trailed Kinalwey by seven points heading into the final 10 minutes, but they hit 3-2 to secure a final berth and took advantage of their reprieve by defeating Erne Gaels. Aidan McKenna scored the first goal in the 2-8 to 0-9 win, before being sent off, with Shane McGullion wrapping things up at the death.
With only one senior team in Fermanagh – Lisnaskea - the senior competition has not been played since 2013 with Lisnaskea nominated as champions for the Ulster series ever since.
Football: A strong finish saw Scotstown see off Inniskeen 0-17 to 0-14 with the Grattan’s wait for a first title since 1948 set to continue for another year. No such issues for Scotstown though with Jack McCarron, a controversial transfer at the start of the season, starring as An Bhoth made it three titles in four years.
There was a real shock as Inniskeen ended Castleblayney’s seven-in-a-row ambitions with a 1-11 to 0-13 win. The crucial score came from Niall Arthur in the second half, although he was dismissed straight after.
Trillick rode their luck with a penalty shoot-out win over Loughmacrory in their first outing, but the red and white ribbons were on the trophy after they won a thrilling ET final against red-hot favourites Errigal Ciaran. Richie Donnelly, without injured older brother Mattie, was superb again as they won 1-13 to 0-13. It means the last team to retain the Tyrone title was Carrickmore in 2004/05.
Éire Óg completed their second four-in-a-row of the last decade as they defeated rivals Eoghan Ruadh 1-15 to 2-6. Justin Kelly plundered an early goal for the Carrickmore outfit.
