Luke and Jack McLoughlin star as Summerhill end losing run

The McLoughlin brothers Luke and Jack starred as Summerhill College Sligo saw off brave Presentation Brothers Cork 72-54 in the Boys U16A All Ireland School Cup final yesterday.

The McLoughlins were full of hustle and Sean Snee and Jack Moran put in a huge amount of work to neutralise the threat of PBC’s Sean Jenkins. Shane Mooney and Oisin O’Reilly were the crowd pleasers through — Mooney with his big jumps, MVP O’Reilly with his peerless skill set and a game high 27 points.

“We’d been in three All-Irelands before this and we’d lost all three. We came in to this one with a different mindset and a different attitude,” said O’Reilly.
