The 2021 championship certainly didn’t lack drama, ranging from Valley Rovers’ shock one-point win over the defending champions Nemo Rangers on day one through to the penalty shoot-out drama of the St Finbarr’s-Castlehaven semi-final to the closing minutes of the decider itself, when Steven Sherlock emerged as the Blues’ hero.

Clon ended Douglas’s season, winning by a point, and that was the same margin in the final with Sherlock’s late winner deciding a gripping contest.
