Naas CBS claim South Leinster 'A' title with win over Knockbeg

South Leinster PPS Junior Football 'A' Final

Naas CBS 2-14

Knockbeg College 1-8

Naas CBS have claimed the South Leinster Post-Primary Schools Junior Football ‘A’ title with a win over Knockbeg College. After a strong start from the Carlow school that saw them lead 0-4 to no score 15 minutes into this game, Naas kicked into gear.

After not scoring to that point, Naas kicked 1-6 and reduced Knockbeg to just a single score to take a lead into half-time. CBS would kick themselves clear after the break and in truth always had Knockbeg at arm's length in the second half. 

A late Rob Millham would be the icing on the cake for the now Champions.

Naas, Aidan McGrane 1-2, Rob Millham 1-1, Liam Kenny 0-3 (0-1 frees), Rory Thompson 0-3, Niall McAndrew 0-1, Stephen Murphy 0-1, Euan Cowzer 0-1, Sean Tully 0-1 (0-1 frees), Sean Murphy 0-1.

Knockbeg, Dylan O'Dwyer 0-4 (0-1 frees), Cian O'Sullivan 1-0, Eanae Byrne 0-3 (0-3 frees), Dermot Lawlor 0-1.
