Coiste na nÓg U13D Hurling Championship Final

Roscrea 0-4

A rocket of a goal by Cian O’Connor after twelve seconds was enough to see Killenaule prevail over North champions Roscrea in the second final played in the number one field at noon. In a low-scoring game, both defences excelled, and at half-time it was 1-2 to 0-2.
