Ballyhale Shamrocks of Kilkenny are the All-Ireland Hurling Club Champions; Crossmaglen and Dr Crokes must face off again in the football final.
Ballyhale Shamrocks won the hurling final against Loughrea of Galway by 3-12 to 2-08 at Croke Park.
Goals in either half from half-forward TJ Reid ensured that Ballyhale Shamrocks took their first All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling title since 1990.
The Galway men had made a brilliant start to this game, played out in front of a 25,285-strong crowd, and they led by double-scores after ten minutes thanks to good work from Ken Colleran (0-02), John O'Loughlin and Johnny Maher.
But the Shamrocks were quick to race into gear with five points on the trot with Michael Fennelly, TJ and Patrick Reid and Henry Shefflin all on target.
These scores gave a confident Ballyhale side a 0-07 to 0-04 advantage by the 19th-minute and a great run from TJ Reid from 45 metres out resulted in the game's first goal as he had no hesitation in crashing the ball to the back of the Loughrea net.
The Kilkenny and Leinster champions held a 1-09 to 0-07 lead at the interval and quickly built on this on the restart as full-forward Patrick Reid rifled the ball to the net.
Good work from Shefflin, last year's Hurler of the Year, ensured that the gap was quickly extended to ten points. However, scores were suddenly at a premium and Loughrea were also keen on making a comeback.
In the closing quarter, Loughrea owned possession but struggled to get scores on the board but they did manage two fine goals with Vinnie and Johnny Maher both crashing to the net.
However, Ballyhale were also goal-hungry and TJ Reid found the net in the 64th-minute to seal a memorable victory and the club's fourth All-Ireland success in all since 1981.

All-square in football final
A 63rd-minute point from Crossmaglen Rangers captain Oisín McConville ensured that the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Final will take a replay to separate the finalists - for the first time since 1993.
An extremely competitive game of football at Croke Park saw today's final end in a 1-09 to 1-09 stalemate between Crossmaglen, the Ulster champions, and Kerry and Munster kingpins Dr Crokes.
McConville certainly had the rub of the green with him in kicking the equalising score, as many had doubts over the number of steps he had taken before executing his golden kick.
Crokes may have been the underdogs heading into this game but they certainly made the better start with fine points from Colm 'Gooch' Cooper and Brian Looney in the opening eight minutes, with Cross failing to score.
Rangers suddenly awoke from their slumber and came into their own with two fine points each from Michael McNamee and Aaron Kernan but they were also extremely guilty of missed chances in front of the posts.
With a minute of normal time remaining in the opening half, Crossmaglen were holding a double scores advantage but a fine Ambrose O’Donovan point for Crokes ensured that the Kerrymen were trailing by only the minimum - 0-04 to 0-03 - at the interval.
No one could have predicted the explosive start which both teams made to the second half with McConville first to find the net on the restart before Shane Doolan, set up by Cooper, replied with a similar effort a minute later.
Crokes had the momentum at this stage, taking a 1-06 to 1-05 lead into the final 20 minutes, but the game was always tight and although Crokes led 1-09 to 1-06 with just nine minutes remaining, Cross came with a telling late burst.
The experienced Armagh side came to the fore with points from John McEntee and two from McConville, sending the game to a replay.
The real damage for Crossmaglen in this game was self-inflicted as the Rangers finished the hour with 12 wides, and they will certainly have to improve upon this for the replay which takes place in O'Moore Park, Portlaoise, on 1 April (throw-in 2pm).
Crossmaglen Rangers: P Hearty, F Bellew, T McEntee, S McNamee, A Kernan (0-02, 0-2f), J Donaldson, B McKeown, D McKenna (0-02), S Clarke, M Aherne, J McEntee (0-01), J Murtagh, M McNamee (0-02), J Hanratty, O McConville (capt) (1-02, 0-01f).
