Drom – Inch playing with the advantage of a strong gale, needed a good start to the second half and got just that with a Brendan Larkin point. Thomas Nolan then got a great individual goal after winning the kickout, played a give and go pass with a teammate before cooly slotting it past Thomas Morrissey in the Brackens goal. This was a cruel killer blow to Brackens and two more points form Micky Connors and Jamie Bergin saw Drom Inch race into an eight point lead after 45min. JK Brackens did not lie down however and led by the excellent Jordan Moloney kept pressing forward when they could, and points from Stephen Quinlan and Moloney reduced the deficit to six and when Michael Greed popped up on the 50th minute to grab a goal it looked like the match would go right down to the wire.JK Brackens were now looking much like the team that had easily won their semi final and were playing some very slick football. But as this Drom-Inch team has shown all throughout the year that they have character in abundance two well worked points from the impressive Thomas Nolan calmed the Brackens storm. A further Brendan Larkin point in the 28th minute put six points between the sides again and it was the Drom-Inch side who were to have the final say, through Padraig Campion (now playing at corner forward) rounded off a great evening’s football with a point in the dying moments to ensure Drom came out on top on a scoreline of 2.09 to 1.05.

This was Drom-Inch’s first ever Mid under 16 A football title and was a brilliant team performance from each player. Best for Drom-Inch on the day were Jamie Bergin, Emmet Moloney, Thomas Nolan, Padraic Campion and Thomas O’Meara. Brackens will be disappointed not to get the victory and things may have been different had they converted the first half penalty and also the chance which was blasted off the crossbar in the dying minutes. Jordan Maloney led the attack bravely on every occasion while Radic Natkaneic, Mikey O’Meara,Mikey Greed and Eoin Brophy all had their moments.

JK Brackens: Thomas Morrissey, Martin Scully, Eamonn Kennedy, Brian Roche, Joe Kennedy, Eoin Brophy, Stephen Quinlan (0-1), Lee Fennell, Eric Quinlan (0-1 pen), Radic Natkaneic (0-1), Jordan Moloney (0-2, 0-1f), Dylan Loughnane, Jack Kennedy, Michael O Meara, Michael Greed (1-0).

Drom-Inch: Paul Kennedy, Padraic Campion (0-1), Emmett Maloney, Robbie Long, Kevin Hassett, Kevin Aherne, Colm Kinane, Thomas Nolan (1-2), Jamie Bergin (1-2), Tomas O Meara, Brendan Larkin (0-3), Ciaran Thorpe, Conor O Meara, Michael Connors (0-1), Stevie Nolan
Subs: Liam Dempsey for Conor O Meara, Paul Hennessy for Padraic Campion
