All-Ireland Senior Schools B hurling final: St Killian’s Garron Tower (Antrim) 4-13 Blackwater CS, Lismore (Waterford) 0-13 

THREE goals in the opening 12 minutes set Blackwater Community School from Waterford an almost impossible task in this Masita Paddy Buggy Cup in Abbottstown on Saturday afternoon and a physically powerful St Killian’s Garron Tower emphatically completed the season on a high in winning the Danske Bank Mageean Cup for the first time in 60 years.
