North End United overcome Castledockrell to be crowned Under-19 League champions
The Sky Blues went into the game knowing a point would be sufficient to clinch the title, while their opponents needed a win.
Cian Redmond gave the Wexford town side the lead midway through the opening half and Troy Sinnott doubled their advantage from the penalty spot seven minutes before the break.
Cian O'Dowd made it 3-0 five minutes after the change of ends and, although Cormac Casey pulled one back when he converted a penalty in the 75th minute, it was quickly wiped out by substitute Dillon Shannon. Shane Reddy grabbed Castledockrell's second goal in the 82nd minute, but it mattered little as Seamus Moloney's side were soon confirmed as Under-19 League champions.
