Healy inspires St Brigids to fourth title in a row

St Brigid’s, Loughrea 1-13 Scoil Ruain, Killenaule 0-12

It was a victory that didn't look likely in the opening half as Scoil Ruain, putting their semi-final form behind them, led by double scores at the break, 0-10 to 0-5. However, using the wind to great advantage, Loughrea, with Healy leading by example, took over in the second half and there was no denying them their place in the history books.

Scoil Ruain got off to the perfect start when John Holohan cut a line ball from 30 metres over the bar after just a minute, but Loughrea were level a minute later through Frankie Burke before the Tipperary school took a firm grip.
