Boden crowned Dublin U15 ‘A’ hurling champions

Two goals from the influential James Madden inspired Ballyboden St Enda's U15 hurlers to a 4-10 to 0-5 victory over Whitehall Colmcille in Sunday's Dublin U15HC 'A' final at Parnell Park.

Boden made the dream start when after Ciaran O'Connor had given Colmcilles an early lead the Firhouse Road lads struck for two goals inside the opening nine minutes.

Rob O'Donohue grabbed the first with Madden, who finished with a personal tally of 2-2, setting up Ben Kelly to the second as Boden established a strong lead.

Whitehall steadied their ship with points from Lee Gannon and Mickey Noonan but before the interval Madden's goal in the 23rd minute helped the southsiders to a 3-4 to 0-3 half-time lead.

The second half was more evenly balanced but Whitehall could not break down a very resolute Boden defence before Madden's second goal saw his side to a comfortable victory.
