COLÁISTE EOIN deservedly won the Dublin Colleges' SF A final yesterday at O'Toole Park thanks mainly to a magnificent performance from Conchuir O Nuain, who accounted for 2-5.
St Benildus fought bravely with notable performances from Dublin minor Shane White, and Cormac O'Brien in midfield.
However, Coláiste Eoin were not to be denied and replacement Maghnus MacGabhann's goal 10 minutes from time left St Benildus with too much work to do.

Subs: B McManman for O'Donovan (25 mins), N O'Sullivan for C Murray (48 mins), C Fennell for F Brown (57 mins).
COLÁISTE EOIN: B Mac Inhaigh; D O Ceallaigh, C O Morain, S O Corcorain; R Murdoch, P O Muiri, M O Meachair; E O Maoileoin, E O Seanain; B Latchford (0-1), C O Muirgheasa, A Cochlain; C O Nuain (2-5, three frees), R O Riain, D O Ceileachair. Subs: M Mac Gabhann (1-1) for D Ceileachair (h-t).
