First up was the game against the Cavan champions from Cootehill. St. Eunan’s got off to a great start and were 3 goals to nil up by the 4th minute of the game. They beat their opponents by 8 goals to nil at the final whistle.
After a short break, they faced the Inishowen champions Cardonagh Boys School. St. Eunan’s dominated the play from the off and emerged as the winners, with a final score of 10 goals to 1.
The final deciding game saw the Raphoe boys up against Gael Scoil Ultain, the Monaghan champions. In a much more competitive game the Donegal champions sealed the deal by finishing with 5 goals to 1.
