They held off a late Sligo Grammar fight back to win 14-12

And with the Ballinasloe side dominating, Conor Goode got the second on 22 minutes with Treacy adding the two points for a 14-0 interval lead.

A 48th title looked secured with time ticking
away but a penalty try for Sligo Grammar three minutes from time brought it
back to a seven-point game.

And unbelievably, William Whelan got a second five minutes
into injury time but Sligo Grammar’s conversion failed to find the target.

Despite nearly 15 minutes of added time, Garbally held on to
complete a seventh hat-trick by just two points.
