Knockbeg College 2nd years have qualified for the South Leinster A final after an impressive win over Clane in the semi final last week.
They started their campaign with a 5-14 to 6-10 win away to Good Counsel.
They topped their group following a facile win over Ard Scoil, Athy winning 9-12 to 0-2.
This set up a home semi final versus Clane, the team who beat them in the equivalent of a South Leinster Final in 1st year.
Knockbeg turned the tables this time with a comprehensive 1-21 to 2-5 victory in Killeshin last Thursday.
Clane opened the scoring with a 2 point free but Knockbeg responded well with points from Aidan Fitzharris, Fionn Harris who notched six points on the day and Frankie Doyle.
They went in at half time leading 0-9 to 0-4 after playing against a slight breeze.
Immediately after half time, Ethan Lawlor had his second goal disallowed for a square ball which looked like a particularly harsh call after being set up by Conor Whelan.
Shortly after a Clane goal made it 0-10 to 1-4 but Knockbeg repsonded well with scores from Lawlor.
Mark Kennedy then pounced for an excellent goal to put daylight between the teams again as he finished the afternoon with 1-3.
Knockbeg continued to dominate with the help of the Killeshin duo of Evan Brennan and Harry McNamara central to affairs.
They continued to raise the white flag with an impressive array of shooting from all the forwards and could breath easy when they conceded a second goal late on.
They now look forward to the final against Naas CBS or Good Counsel, a game which could still be played before the Christmas break next week.
