Leinster goal blitz helps snatch U18 interprovincial title
The pitch at Mossley HC in Newtownabbey froze in the early evening on Friday night, forcing the Luke Madeley and Jonny McCormack-inspired Blues to cram their matches into little over a day.
They started superbly with a 5-0 victory over Munster before drawing 1-1 with Ulster on Saturday. That big win over Munster proved crucial as although they beat the men in red 4-2, they lost 3-1 to Ulster in the afternoon. However, a superior goal difference saw Leinster reclaim their crown. For Munster, it was a tournament of what might have been. They missed late chances in the 2-1 defeat to Ulster on Friday, before recovering to stun the hosts on the same scoreline in their second game on Saturday, Bandon Grammar duo Julius Haendel and Julian Dale netting the goals.
