Presentation Milltown create history with first Dunloe Cup

Kerry PPS U16 FC final: Pres Milltown 2-13 St Brendan’s 0-8

Presentation Milltown produced a stunning performance to get the better of a fancied St Brendan’s, Killarney, in the Dunloe Cup final to claim their first ‘A’ Schools title in the Kingdom.

Cian Doe was the star for Milltown with 1-4, his goal in the 44th minute coming after a splendid 50m individual run and finish that put the game to bed at 2-11 to 0-6.

The Sem struggled in the injured Cian McMahon’s absence as Doe set up Milltown captain Cillian Burke for their first goal in the 13th minute.

Pres led by 1-7 to 0-5 at the break and never looked back.

Proud doesn't even come close in describing how we feel about this group of players today. A superb performance in Fitzgerald Stadium saw Pres Milltown win our first ever Dunloe Cup Final. pic.twitter.com/QNk3wzfR2W
