NAAS CBS HAVE clinched their third\u00a0Leinster senior A football colleges crown after narrowly defeating Maynooth SLS in an all-Kildare final at St Conleth\u2019s Park in Newbridge.<\/p>\n
Maynooth, who were competing in the final for the first time, struck for a goal after just four minutes to help them into a 1-1 to 0-1 lead. But it was Naas who squeezed over the line with a\u00a00-14 to 2-7\u00a0victory.<\/p>\n
Luke Jennings provided that early goal for Maynooth, while Jack Murnane grabbed their second goal late in the second half to push Naas all the way to the final whistle.<\/p>\n
But Naas recovered from that Jennings effort as Niall Dolan grabbed a point to send his side into the half-time break with a 0-7 to 1-3 lead.<\/p>\n
Nass continued to control proceedings in the second half, and were four points in front after 47 minutes.<\/p>\n
Maynooth\u2019s Sean\u00a0Hever responded with two points to help reduce the gap again, but Naas were four clear before that second Maynooth goal from Murnan to set up a tense final few minutes.<\/p>\n
Dolan and\u00a0David MacPartlin both helped themselves to three points each throughout the tie as Naas secured the\u00a0Br Bosco Cup which they previously won in 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n
They also reached the final in 2020.<\/p>\n
