Bit of smash and grab win by St Pats at the end. Hard to see the Kerry school beaten in the final going by how they dismantled their semi final opponents.

Could only follow the game on Twitter, seemed like St Pat's were in control for the first 40mins or so. Summerhill goaled and then scored another through a dubious retaken penalty. And only took the lead in the last 10mins. Kearney's penalty was pretty much the last kick of the match.
St Brendan's destroyed both the Munster finalists and their Hogan semi-final opponents, so they'll be massive favourites. Final on the 2nd April.

Not to rain on the St pats parade but every single report I got from Sligo people yesterday was the ref was scandalous and won the game for St Pats, with 10 mins to go he sent off our chb for what no one seems to know as at the time as he gave a free in his favour and then he black carded our best forward for the closing stages very harshly, Summerhill were better team, it was an ulster ref but tbh I don't think that matters to much as we are as likely to get shafted by a Connacht ref as we see every summer at underage level. Pity it wasn't a neutral province ref from Leinster.  Very proud of Summerhill though as by all accounts they left everything out on the field, 5 pts down early in second and to be 3pts up with a min to go and down to 14 against a team like pats is commendable just a travesty that this shit keeps happening in gaa.

The ref wasn't scandalous at all, he made mistakes as did players on both teams. Its the easy out to blame the ref when your beat. Summerhill where on top for about 15 or 20 minutes of the game which hardly makes them the better team.

Far be it from me to defend St. Pat's because I wouldn't usually/ever but the footage of the retaken Summerhill is equally scandallous... I watched it 5 times and still baffled as to why the ref allowed the miss to be retaken!!

Declan Bogue was covering the game on Twitter. This was he remark regarding the red card:

'Ref has sent off the wrong man here - given red to Summerhill centre-back'
