Shamrocks failed to score from play in the opening period and Shane Roche was dismissed from a second yellow card early in the second half as frustration got the better of the Knockanore men.

With five minutes to play Sean Roche put the result beyond doubt with a soccer style kick to the back of the net.

The final score was 1-10 to 0-2 and Roanmore will now play in the Intermediate ranks in 2021.
