Navan O’Mahonys got off to a great start with some excellent play by Jamie Lee McEreavey and Jack McConnell creating some well worked scores to settle the nerves. 

Kells replied back well with some scores from placed balls. Jack Coyle in the Navan goals then saved a penalty before the water break to lift the team. 

Some excellent work from Jack Quinn, Evan Cully and Conor McEvoy kept O’Mahonys ticking over at the other end. 

The second half required grit and determination from the whole squad as Colm O’Toole was sin binned for ten minutes.

Eoghan Nugent and Louis Collins were unbelievable leaders during this period winning vital possession at critical times for O’Mahonys. Riordan Russell, Podge McEvoy and Sean Betson defended extremely well during this period when O’Mahonys backs were to the wall. 

The introduction of players off the bench was ultimately the difference with Tiernan Black, Max Lafford, Finn Malone and Jamie Maguire closing out the game with fresh legs. 

Sean Betson, Ivo Fitzherbert, Tiernan Black, Jack Lafford and Kieran Scott recently won the U15 Feile and over the course of the league campaign have all played vital roles in this league win, including tonight in the final. 

Thomas Cully lead the team during the campaign all year and again tonight in typical hard working fashion he had an excellent game. 

Thomas lifted the cup on behalf of the squad tonight and a great night to remember for these young men. 

The whole panel of 25 players have each played significant roles over the last 6 months and without each and every one of them this night of celebration would not be possible. 

Navan O'Mahonys: Jack Coyle, Riordan Russell, Colm O’Toole, Sean Betson, Thomas Cully, Eoghan Nugent, Ivo Fitzherbert, Louis Collins, Podge McEvoy, Sultan Karem, Conor McEvoy, Evan Cully, Jack Quinn, Jamie Lee McErevey , Jack McConnell, Kieran Scott, Tiernan Black, Evan Culligan, Max lafford, Luke Victory, Nathan Carolan, Jack lafford, Jamie Maguire, Peter McEntaggart, Finn Malone.
