Moyne CS celebrate their victory in the Leinster U-16 C Football Final Photo: Syl Healy
Boosted by a brilliant start which yielded three goals in the early stages of the game, Moyne Community School U-16 footballers were crowned Leinster Junior ‘C’ champions following their fine win over Dublin opponents Scoil Chaitriona Glasnevin in the final at the Kinnegad GAA grounds on Friday.
Moyne Community School . . . 3-11 Scoil Chaitriona Glasnevin Dublin . . . 2-5
After playing for the Longford U-17s in the Leinster Championship first round game against Westmeath at Allen Park on Thursday night, the energetic Oren McNerney found the back of the net direct from the throw-in and further goals quickly followed from Fionn McCormack Crowe and another county minor Leon Madden.
With Madden also landing a point, rampant Moyne had established a commanding 3-1 to 0-0 lead with just eight minutes gone on the clock and while the Irish speaking Dublin secondary school were fighting a losing battle, they managed to close the gap with goals from Eoin O Fiachain (16th minute) and Dylan O Gruagain (26th minute).
Backed by a strong wind, Moyne had to be content with a 3-4 to 2-2 lead at the break but stepped up another gear in the second half to register seven more points on their way to a comfortable victory.
