Last gasp Murray point seals South Leinster Championship for Naas

Naas CBS                           1-8

Scoil Dara Kilcock         1-7

South Leinster Post Primary Schools B Final

Naas CBS have captured the South Leinster Post Primary School B Football Championship following a nail-biting finale to their encounter with Scoil Dara of Kilcock in Hawkfield this afternoon. They trailed by two points at half time, but rallied in the second half to clinch a stunning victory.

Points from Darragh Merriman, Conor Kelly and Niall Murphy pushed Naas into a lead approaching the half-time whistle but a point from Shane Walsh and an excellently taken goal from Brian Reilly on the stroke of half-time gave Scoil Dara the lead going into the interval.

A Dan Gallagher goal within two minutes of the restart brought Naas roaring back into contention, while Murphy continued to raise white flags with two further scores. Aaron Williams kicked over a brace of scores for the Kilcock pupils in the second half, with the latter tying up the scores approaching full-time.

Murphy had other ideas however, and kept his cool as he advanced on goal to fist the ball over the bar which brought about his fourth point of the game, and more importantly, the winning score for Naas.
