The final drama came when Éabha Dolan steered the equalising goal high into the net and Callum Coughlan scored a tremendous late winning goal to send the large crowd of Kilteevan supporters into ecstatic celebrations.
Team captain Robert Owens collected the trophy after driving the team on from midfield at the end of a hectic 8 days which saw the panel retain
Huge congratulations to all involved on what must surely be a unique achievement for such a small school as Kilteevan.
