Clinical Brian O’Driscoll completes family hat-trick

It was a poignant victory, completing a golden O’Driscoll family hat-trick.

His late father, Teddy, won the same title a few weeks before Brian was born in 2003. His uncle, Denis, won it in 2006.

BRIAN O’Driscoll was fast, focused and ruthless in his dispatch of Alex O’Donovan in the Munster junior B final at Castletownkenneigh.

In a championship that was rich in quality, the final rarely sparkled. That should not take from O’Driscoll’s five-star performance. It was also a poignant victory, completing a golden O’Driscoll family hat-trick.
