Cappincur defeated 1/8 favourites Tullamore in a major upset.
There was a big shock to kick-off the Offaly Senior Football Championship.
Cappincur won just their 5th ever game at this level, defeating Tullamore in fiesty local derby 0-12 to 1-8.
A first half goal had given Tullamore a 1-4 to 5 point lead at the break, before a series of second period free's brought Cappincur back into contention.
Offaly footballer Eoin Carroll kicked a last minute point to win it.
He says taking such a big scalp is massive for the club:
Victory for @CappincurGAA last night over @tullamoregaa in the Senior Football Championship.
