County League Winners

Newport had an emphatic victory over Cashel in the final of the County Under 17 Hurling League (Div 1) in Cappawhite on Monday evening. Two goals in the first two minutes set them on the road and with Oisin Kennedy dominant around midfield, the forwards had a good supply of ball, allowing Charlie Tobin, Cormac Shanahan and Ollie Roche to share 9 goals among them. Captain, Kevin Fitzpatrick led from the back in an overall fine team performance. They have now added the hurling title to the football title annexed a few weeks ago.
