Coláiste Éanna served up a performance of great tenacity to haul themselves back from 14 points down in the second quarter and clinch a thrilling 61-58 victory over St. Mary’s CBS Portlaoise in Wednesday morning’s All-Ireland Under 19A Boys Schools League Final in the National Basketball Arena.

St. Mary’s, having raised the Under 19A Cup only last month, were looking to make it an All-Ireland double this season and they went extremely close to fulfilling that dream as they carried a five-point lead into the final period.
