St Kieran’s College take 53rd title in Corn Uí Dhuill Leinster final

St Kieran’s College (Kilkenny)1-14

The game’s pivotal score came on 35 minutes when Kieran’s midfielder Richie Leahy cut through the Peter’s defence to goal and give his side a four point lead (1-8 to 1-4) at Netwatch Cullen Park, Carlow, on Saturday in a game played in difficult windy conditions.

St Peter’s were strong and determined in the opening half, making it a competitive decider. They fed off very limited forward possession but stayed in contention through the fact Kieran’s, who fielded five of the Kilkenny All-Ireland minor winning team of 2014, drove 11 first half wides.
