Ballyskenagh captured the Division 4 League title at the expense of Killavilla in Shinrone on Sunday 17th November.A good first half perfomance saw 'Skenagh build up a 1-5 to 0-2 lead by half time, but Killavilla fought back in the second half and scored three points without reply in the opening five minutes (two from frees) to narrow the gap to just three points. With five minutes to go, the gap was again five points, but a Killavilla goal at the end of normal time ensured an exciting finish, with 'Skenagh holding on to win by 1-8 to 1-6.
