Wicklow SFC Final/St Patricks 1-10 Kiltegan 0-10: With a brilliant display of football wizardry, St Patrick's full forward Paul Earls dashed the ambitions of Kiltegan as he steered his side to their 11th senior title at Aughrim yesterday.
Kiltegan went into the decider as favourites, but they found themselves paying the price for not being able to shackle the 21-year-old UCD graduate, who accounted for all but three points of his side's total.
