EXTRA-TIME WAS needed to determine a winner in the Bosco Cup final as Coláiste Mhuire Mullingar ended a 42-year wait for glory against Ardscoil na Tríonoíde Athy.
Substitute Paul Keating scored a vital goal in the first half of extra-time which helped the Westmeath school into a four-point advantage at the break.
Ardscoil na Tríonoíde were two points in front after the opening 10 minutes of normal time before two goals from Will Scahill powered Coláiste Mhuire into a four-point lead. Colm Moran responded with a goal for the Athy charges who went into the half-time break with a 1-7 to 2-2 lead.
The teams were level again heading into the closing 10 minutes before Ardscoil na Tríonoíde lost Darragh Farrell to a red card with extra-time looming. The numerical advantage ultimately allowed Coláiste Mhuire to bring their long wait to an end.
Mercy Mounthawk retained their Corn Uí Mhuirí title against St Brendan’s Killarney as the Kerry schools battled it out in the Munster decider.
Goals from Tomás Kennedy and Pádraig O’Halloran helped power the Tralee champions to a seven-point victory while Paddy Lane also chipped in with five points.
St Brendan’s trailed by five points at half-time as Mercy Mounthawk continued to tag on scores upon the resumption to build up a 2-9 to 0-6 lead in the closing stages. St Brendan’s were then awarded a penalty but goalkeeper Ruairí Kennedy denied Joey McCarthy’s effort as the holders closed the game out to win their second-ever Corn Uí Mhuirí title with a back-to-back success.
