With three minutes of normal time remaining Anthony Burns supplied the decisive goal for Loughrea.
Ultimately, it meant that Loughrea captured a third ever Galway SHC title at Kenny Park.
Cappataggle were determined throughout, but Loughrea did enough to secure a first crown since 2006.
Burns’ goal was the pivotal moment in the game as Cappataggle had reduced the margin to two points.
Following a well contested opening period, Loughrea, with Ian Hanrahan, Burns, and Tiernan Killeen, prominent, led 0-11 to 0-8.
Five minutes after the restart Cappataggle were awarded a penalty, but Liam Collins’ effort was saved by Gearoid Loughnane.
Despite the setback, Cappataggle, with Neil and Liam Collins effective, continued to battle and were only two points behind late on.
With the issue delicately poised Burns pounced to score a major following good work by Joe Mooney as Loughrea prevailed in Athenry.
Scorers for Loughrea: A Burns 1-3, T Killeen 0-4 (3fs), J Morgan 0-3 (1f, 165), I Hanrahan 0-2, S O’Brien, N Keary, and C Killeen 0-1 each.
Scorers for Cappataggle: N Collins 0-8 (5fs), L Collins 0-4, D Malone 0-3, J Mannion 0-1.
