Killough finished top of their group with 11 points and progressed to the semi finals.
The last four tie was an excellent encounter.

Gerry Ward and Charlie Gelston got the goals with both adding a point each.
Dechomet started the second half strongly and hit a further two goals.
Ryan Hackett grabbed a three pointer with a minute to go but Killough couldn't find that crucial last score and lost by a point.
St Joseph's P.S. Killough team and scorers: D.McLaughlin, R.Hackett (2-00), J.Laverty, C.Laverty (1-00), C.Gelston (2-03), G.Ward (7-01), J.O'Neill (4-00), P.Gelston, L.McClenaghan, A.Murphy (0-01), C.Ranaghan.
The team unfortunately couldn't go one better than 2016 and again tasted disappointment at the semi final stage.
We wish Dechomet the best of luck in their final against defending champions Burrenreagh.
Many thanks to staff member Miss Wilcox along with parents Theresa Ranaghan and Laura Murphy for their assistance with lifts and their support today.
So close to creating a little bit of history. Naomh Seosamh, Cíll Locha abú!
