St Mary's CBGS Belfast 3-17 St Killian's Garron Tower 0-6

ST Mary's CBGS Belfast wiped away the disappointment of losing last year's Danske Bank Mageean Cup final by powering away from St Killian's College Garron Tower at the Dub Arena last night to claim the school's 30th title.

Superior in most areas of the pitch they took control after a bit of sparring in the opening ten minutes and dominated the rest of the opening half to lead with an impressive 3-9 to 0-2 at the break.

The north Antrim boys came out strong after the break and hit the opening two points but once Shea Shannon pointed a free in the 39th minute St Mary's were back running the show and they tagged on a further seven points in the final 20 minutes to take their first title in five seasons.
