Paul Fitzpatrick

Forty-one long years had passed since St Patrick's College, Cavan last landed the famed Corn na nÓg cup but that famine was ended yesterday in Scotstown, Co Monaghan with a hard-earned three-point win over St Pat's, Dungannon.

And the winning goal was worthy of the occasion as Cavan Gaels lad Bradley Okapje came off the bench to score a superb soccer-style three-pointer with time almost up.

The win was reward for the hard work of St Pat's coaches Ray Hogan and Shaun Doherty and their panel of players.

Full report in this week's print issue.
