(vii)
Scoring difference (subtracting the value of the total Scores Against from the value of the total Scores For) across all games played in the Competition
(viii) A Play-Off

Because the two teams drew , it comes down to goals scored in the game. It used to come down to total amount of scores but since the introduction of two pointer that can't be recorded anymore.

Total score difference seems to be last port of call now. Which is mad - but this is how it was done so we can quell the rumours of anyone conceding

Replying To Azteca:  "I heard it's because of some bizarre rule where because Cashel scored more goals in the head to head fixture between them and Killoe, that Killoe now cannot overtake Cashel in the table."
I have never in all my days heard of such a rule.

It was used to decide the placings in the Minor A championship, Carrick/Sarsfields Kenagh drew with Dromard and finished first in the table as they had score more goals in the drawn game. Strange rule would be better to use score difference
