Blackrock knock out champions

Nagle CC, Cork 1 Blackrock College, Dublin 2

The Cork side, who have won three national titles in as many years, looked a shadow of their former selves in a lacklustre opening half which was characterised by wayward passing and poor finishing.

The second-half was a much more exciting affair. Within minutes of the restart, Vaughan grabbed his first goal, when he latched onto a poor clearance. Vaughan’s shot deceived keeper Padraig Donoghue and bounced into the net.
