They extended their unbeaten run to 36 games a week later with a win away to Monaghan in the National League. That 36-game unbeaten run finally came to an end on 10 April 2017 in the National League Final where they lost by a single point 0–20 to 1–16 to Kerry, the previous holders of the record which had stood for 84 years.
