Depleted Ballyboden romp to historic four in-a-row

BOSS Liam Hogan toasted absent friend Stephen Perkins as Ballyboden St Enda’s claimed an historic fourth Dublin SHC title on the trot.

Not since the Garda club did so in 1929 has a Dublin side won four straight county titles and ‘Bodens emulated the achievement in some style at Parnell Park.

A brace of goals in the 41st minute from Niall McMorrow and county footballer Conal Keaney put them 11 points clear and virtually sealed the win.
