A last
minute point from Barry Mulligan earned Oatlands extra time in
this closely contested Dublin Senior Hurling Final against
Clonkeen College in Parnell Park which they went on to win by a
score of 5-15 to 5-10. Leading by ten points at half-time it
looked like we were in for a repeat of the school’s easy victory
over their local rivals earlier in the season but Clonkeen have
improved significantly since then and two quick goals set up the
nail-biting finale. It is Oatland’s first victory at this level
since 1984.
The Oatlands scorers
were: Oisin Power 1-5, Rory Ocarroll 1-2, Kian Jennings 0-3,
Conor Caulfield 1-0, Keith Hogarty 1-0, Baetan Teague 1-0, Barry
Mulligan 0-2, David Higgins 0-2 and Nick Devereux 0-1.
