The ultimate county champions missed out on skipping the quarter finals after loss to Belmont.
Shinrone are reflecting on an historic year.
The Offaly club won a senior county title for the first time when they beat Kilcormac Killoughey at O'Connor Park in October.
The path to the final wasn't straight forward, in the group phase a clutch win over Coolderry was followed by a disappointing defeat to Belmont.
The county's defending champions St Ryangh's were then lying in wait in the quarter finals, Shinrone's manager Trevor Fletcher says their loss to Belmont came at the right time:
