Ashbourne CS secure final spot

Ashbourne CS .....4-9

St Peter’s College Dunboyne ....1-9

Goals proved decisive as Ashbourne CS advanced to the Leinster Colleges SF B FL final following victory over Meath rivals St Peter's College Dunboyne on Thursday.

St Peter's, who reached the All-Ireland SFC B semi-finals, were hot favourites, but at the end of a tight opening half the teams were tied, 1-7 each, with Eoin Branagan's goal giving Ashbourne a boost.

Playing into a strong wind Dunboyne struggled to make an impact as Ashbourne's superb defence held them to just two points.

Two goals by joint captain Max Duffy and one from Niall Daly put Ashourne in the driving seat and they never looked back.

Ashbourne will play Rathangan from Kildare in the final.

Ashbourne CS - Cillian Gleeson, Killian Daly, Colm O’Leary, Caylum Stafford, Dylan Rowland, Sean Ward, Eoin Brangan, Mylo Hussey, Alex McCann, Danny Dunne, Daniel McGill, Aidan Keogh, Dannan Donnelly, Finn Warnock, Max Duffy, Niall Daly, Ryan Lynch, Harry Begg, Daniel Morris, Aaron Murray, John Robertson, CJ Tuite and Shane McGrath.
