Happy Highview Athletic players celebrate winning the Maher Shield
The champagne corks were popping in Graignamanagh as Highview Athletic tasted Maher Shield glory on Sunday.
Shane Ralph's goal was the difference as Highview beat local rivals Thomastown United 1-0 in a closely-fought final in Derdimus.
Exchanges were tight, with neither side getting a clear sight of goal until midway through the second half when Nathan Sherry hit the bar for United.
Highview also hit the woodwork, Mitchell Maher smashing a shot off the post, but they got a better return when Ralph raced in to fire home from the rebound.
Winning the title bridged a lengthy gap for Highview, who last won the Shield in the 1975/76 season.
