After losing two of the last four county finals, KK will be keen to convert their latest opportunity.
Shinrone will need all of their momentum and a little more if they're to beat county title favourites Kilcormac-Killoughey on Sunday.
Those are the thoughts of Midlands 103 commentator Joe Troy speaking ahead of the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship final.
KK have enjoyed a relatively serene path to the final.
Birr, Clodiagh Gaels, Kinnitty, and St Rynagh's were all accounted for by Shane Hand's side in the group phase.
They were then re-paired with Birr in the county semi-final where they ran out 1-19 to 0-17.
Shinrone managed to win back to back games as underdogs through the knockout stages of this year's championship.
Defending champions St Rynagh's were dispatched in the quarter final, and an injury time goal by Jason Sampson.
