Second title for St Molaise Gaels

St Molaise Gaels 0-18 St Mary’s 0-14

A superb second half comeback ensured St Molaise Gaels captured their second underage title in the space of a week after they came from six points down at half-time to beat St Mary’s by four points in the under-12 Division One final at Monsignor Hynes Park last Thursday evening.

The north Sligo outfit’s second team at this grade claimed the Division Four title a week previous following a thrilling win over Drumcliffe/Rosses Point, and this game was no less entertaining.

St Mary’s, who have claimed a huge array of underage titles in recent years, were very impressive in the opening two quarters and led 0-10 to 0-4 at the break. However, the third quarter saw the tie swing in St Molaise Gaels’ favour and with seven points on the bounce they led by 0-11 to 0-10 as the final quarter approached, and the winners pressed home their advantage to claim the title.
