12th title for Gaels
The 2010 champions got off to a turbo-charged start with Kevin Meehan goaling after just two minutes following an incisive move engineered by Dominic Reilly and Martin Dunne.
Castlerahan continued to play a poor second fiddle and a Martin Dunne goal left them labouring to eat into their opponents’ 2-6 to 0-3 interval lead.
