Robert Emmetts 2-13
St Gabriel's 1-12

Eoin Chawke registered 1-6 as Robert Emmetts retained their London SHC crown against St Gabriels at Greenford yesterday.

The winners enjoyed a perfect start when Daryl Roberts found the back of the St Gabriels net and Chawke grabbed their second to help establish a slender 2-3 to 0-8 half-time lead.

The sending off of full-forward Billy Walsh failed to knock Robert Emmetts off their stride but they were left sweating after Ian Makessey scored a St Gabriels in stoppage time.

Chawke and Kieran Morrissey settled the holders' nerves with late points.
