Post Primary Schools All-Ireland final previews

All-Ireland Colleges SHC ‘A’ final — Ard Scoil Rís, Limerick v St Kieran’s College, Kilkenny, Semple Stadium, 4pm.

Key battle:

Darren Mullen v Peter Casey. It is rare you’ll find an All-Ireland U21 medal winner lining out in a schools final but such were Peter Casey’s performances for the Limerick minors last spring and summer that he earned a call-up to the Limerick U21 squad which swept to glory in September — the Na Piarsaigh forward was the first sub introduced in the All-Ireland final hammering of Wexford. Casey, who will operate at centre-forward for Ardscoil Rís, should be brimming with confidence after hitting three points from play during Na Piarsaigh’s St Patrick’s Day dismissal of Cushendall at GAA HQ. Charged with containing him is St Kieran’s centre-back Darren Mullen. He is one of the few survivors from the all-conquering class of 2014.
