Saint Paul's High School senior football team blasted their way to victory in the All Ireland Colleges B Football Final on Saturday winning by a massive 14 Points against Dublin's Ardscoil Rís.
Going in at half time two points down, whatever was said in the changing rooms at half time by the management team of John Rafferty and Martin O'Rourke obviously worked as the Dubliners remained scoreless in the second half while Saint Paul's clocked up an amazing 16 points to come out the winners by 0:20 to 1:3.
Despite a goal in the first ten minutes from the Dublin side Saint Paul's never looked in danger at any stage of the game. A succession of points from Saint Paul's players including Conor Sloan, Ciaran O'Hanlon and Conor Mackin meant there was only one result.
Captain, Michael Murphy lifted the Noonan Cup to rapturous applause and all that was left to do was for Crossmaglen Rangers to produce the double for Armagh, which they dutifully did winning convincingly in their replay against Garrycastle by 2:19 to 1:7.
No doubt the well deserved celebrations will continue for days to come.
