Four-goal O’Hanrahan the hero for St Kieran’s

St Kieran’s of Kilkenny produced an accomplished performance to defeat a combined Dublin North side 5-7 to 1-5 in their Leinster Colleges SAHC quarter-final at Ratheniska on Saturday.

Central to their win was full-forward Thomas O’Hanrahan, who caused constant headaches for the Dublin defence and plundered four goals to effectively settle the contest.

The All-Ireland champions got off to a flying start and hit 1-3 in quick succession to lead by six points inside ten minutes, with a free from Paul Winters finally opening Dublin’s account in the 12th minute.
