Offaly Schools claimed a first Leinster Colleges Senior Hurling championship title when running out two point winners over St Kieran's, 1-16 to 1-14 in UPMC Nowlan Park on Saturday.

The combined Offaly outfit were represented by six different schools and they also had eight starters from the county's All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship Final defeat against Tipperary last year.
