LEINSTER PP SCHOOLS SHC 'A' FINAL

ST KIERAN'S, KILKENNY 1-17 COLAISTE EOIN 2-7

College Kingpins St Kieran’s were crowned Leinster Post-Primary Schools SHC 'A' champions as they accounted for Coláiste Eoin at O’Moore Park on Sunday.

The All-Ireland holders made a good start as Cian Kenny fired over two classy points in the opening four minutes. An Eoin Cody free extended their lead before Coláiste Eoin struck back, with Pádraig Puirséil finding the net.

St Kieran’s struck back with a Ciarán Brennan goal. A superb run from Séamus Ó Fiachna in the 17th minute culminated in Darach Mac Giolla Bhríde rifling home Coláiste Eoin’s second goal, but St Kieran’s replied through points from Kenny and Conor Kelly.

The remainder of the half was tight, with points from Iain Ó hEithir and Pádhraic Ó Luineacháin cancelled out by Eoghan Moylan and Brennan.

Upon the restart, Coláiste Eoin took the lead courtesy of points from Dónal Mac Duinnsléibhe, and Puirséil. However, they failed to score for the rest of the game and their opponents pulled away with points from Ciaran Brennan, Cody, Conor Hoban and Aaron Brennan.
