Eamon Keogh pictured in action for Moyne Community School.
It took over 80 minutes of football to separate these sides and in the end it was a 78th minute goal from substitute Tiarnan Ahearne that won this tightly contested North Leinster Post-Primary Schools Senior ‘C’ Football Championship Final for Ratoath College (Meath) after extra-time at the Dunganny grounds, Trim on Friday evening last.

Unlucky losers Moyne Community School had a chance in stoppage time right at the end to snatch a dramatic winning goal but first Tristan Noack Hofmann’s shot came off a well-guarded line and then the ball fell to Eamon Keogh but his effort was blocked and the full-time whistle then sounded.
