Keeper Kane the hero as Coláiste Éanna claim cup glory

Coláiste Éanna, Rathfarnham 3 St Joseph’s, Galway 3 (after extra-time, Coláiste Éanna won 4-3 on penalties)

Coláiste Éanna CBS, Rathfarnham hoisted the prestigious FAI Schools Dr Tony O’Neill Senior Cup for the first time yesterday following a penalty shoot-out victory at the Athlone IT.

St Joseph’s of Galway appeared set to end a six-year wait for the title in the penalty shoot-out as they led 3-1 with two spot-kicks left. Instead, they squandered both attempts, while the Dublin converted both of theirs to trigger sudden-death. Another missed penalty for ‘The Bish’ allowed sub Craig Canty to sink the decisive spot-kick.
