Kildare GAA: Naas make it four SHC on the trot

Naas  made it four senior hurling titles on the trot with a far from convincing display against surprise packets Maynooth in today's UPMC SHC final at St Conleth's Park.

Naas led at the break by three points (0-9 to 0-6) in a half that Maynooth certainly gave as good as they got and only went three behind in the latter stages of the half.

The champions, without ever extending themselves, were in full control throughout the second half and while Maynooth never threw in the towel the result was very evident a long way from the end.

Final score line: Naas 0-20 Manooth 0-11.

Scorers: Naas, Jame Burke 0-10 (10 frees), Jack Sheridan 0-3 (1 s/line cut), Simon Leacy 0-2, Cathal Dowling 0-2, Rian Boran 0-1 Peter O'Donoghue 0-1, Charlie Sheridan 0-1.

Maynooth, David Qualter 0-8 (6 frees), Cathal McCabe 0-2, Adam Jordan 0-1.
