EXTRA-TIME WAS needed to determine a winner in the Bosco Cup final as Coláiste Mhuire Mullingar ended a 42-year wait for glory against Ardscoil na Tríonoíde Athy.

Substitute Paul Keating scored a vital goal in the first half of extra-time which helped the Westmeath school into a four-point advantage at the break.

Ardscoil na Tríonoíde were two points in front after the opening 10 minutes of normal time before two goals from Will Scahill powered Coláiste Mhuire into a four-point lead. Colm Moran responded with a goal for the Athy charges who went into the half-time break with a 1-7 to 2-2 lead.

The teams were level again heading into the closing 10 minutes before Ardscoil na Tríonoíde lost Darragh Farrell to a red card with extra-time looming. The numerical advantage ultimately allowed Coláiste Mhuire to bring their long wait to an end.
