Erin’s Own lift sevens crown at Kilmacud

ERIN’S OWN collected the AIB Kilmacud Crokes Hurling Sevens crown at Glenalbyn on Saturday, defeating a powerful Portumna (Galway) outfit in a tightly-contested final.

The annual event, which saw 40 senior clubs flock to south Dublin, was another big success for Crokes, who were running it for the 34th year.

Erin’s Own won the title for the first time as they beat Portumna 5-8 to 3-12 in the decider.
