O’Loughlin Gaels power to first title

O’LOUGHLIN GAELS from Kilkenny claimed their first Féile na nGael Division One title when they defeated Limerick’s Na Piarsaigh (3-7 to 0-4) at Pearse Stadium in Galway yesterday.

Captain Robert Buckley had already landed a point from play and a free in the opening two minutes before he hit his side’s first goal a minute later.

Another free from the full-forward gave the Kilkenny side a six points lead, before points from Peter Casey, Jerry McCabe and Jason O’Callaghan brought Na Piarsaigh back within a goal at the break.
