Limerick Post-Primary School Under 16 Hurling Final

St Fintans CBS Doon 2-8 Castletroy College 1-4

Underdogs St Fintans Cbs enjoyed an excellent 7 point victory in a keenly fought Limerick Colleges county final played at Ballybricken today. Having enjoyed quarter final and semi final victories over John the Baptist Community College Hospital and Hazelwood College Drumcollogher respectively Doon went into the final without the services of David Orr and Darragh Donovan. They faced a fancied castletroy team that had recorded impressive wins against Charleville cbs and ard scoil ris.

The game played in difficult wet and windy conditions saw Doon start brightly with a Kevin Stapleton goal followed by good points by Adam and Dean Coleman. Tom Fox followed up with an excellent goal after great work by Pat Ryan. At half time Doon cbs led 2-3 to 1-3. A huge performance particularly by the Doon defence saw castletroy score only one point in the second half. Doon ran out winners on a Scoreline of 2-8 to 1-4. This was a super win for Doon Cbs who were led brilliantly by their centre back and captain Sean Ryan. Other to play very well include Jack Hayes, Stephen Ryan, Richie English, Shane O’Connell and Tom Fox.
