O’Callaghan hat-trick hero for Cuala

Con O’Callaghan was the scorer-in-chief as Cuala defeated Scoil Uí Chonaill 4-22 to 3-8 in Saturday’s Dublin JHC ‘A’ final in Parnell Park.

The dual minor intercounty ace of last year hit a stunning tally of 3-6, all from play, as the Dalkey men were crowned champions.

The first half was evenly balanced until Cuala closed out the period on the up with a O’Callaghan goal and points from Naoise Waldron, Eoghan Breathnach and Shane Murphy.

It was an advantage they held onto with O’Callaghan completing his hat-trick in the second half.

Meanwhile, Ciarán O'Sullivan’s goal 12 minutes saw St Brigid's defeat O’Toole’s 1-13 to 0-15 in the Dublin JHC 'B' decider at O'Toole Park on Saturday.

Two goals from Cian Hiney and seven points from David Garry (including five frees) saw Ballyboden St Enda's defeat Whitehall Colmcille, 3-12 to 0-11, in the Dublin JHC 'C' decider on Sunday morning in O'Toole Park.
