Browne inspires Gaelscoil to deserved win 

Gaelscoil Aogain 23     Castleisland Boys NS 13

By Murt Murphy

Gaelscoil Aogain had the edge in experience as they proved too strong for Castleisland Boys National School in this exciting Senior NS Boys final played before a full house. 

Gaelscoil had the better shooters as Castleisland Boys had as much possession but just could not find the scoring touch. Jack Browne opened the scoring for Gaelscoil and after Garrett O’Connell had levelled, it was all Gaelscoil as they hit three unanswered baskets from Kevin O’Donoghue, Cian O’Connor and Alan Browne as they led 8-3. 


David Costello sponsor presents the Senior Boys trophy to the Gael Scoil Captain. 

Responding to the urges of coach Denny Porter, Boys NS hit back and were on level terms thanks to some excellent baskets from Brian Leonard, Garrett O’Connell and Luke Lyons but a turnover on the half time buzzer saw Gaelscoil lead 11-9 at the interval thanks to a Jack Browne layup. 

It was Gaelscoil in the second half as Jack Browne and the games MVP Kevin O’Donoghue took over and at 21-11 it was just a question of retaining possession and running down the clock. 

Gaelscoil Aogain: K O’Donoghue 8, J Browne 8, A Browne 3

Boys National School : G O’Connell 4, B Leonard 4, S O’Connell 2
