There was no joy for the Glenamaddy Community School Boys this afternoon in the John Murphy National Senior B Boys Cup Final in Athlone Town Stadium, as they were beaten 5-2 by St Peter's Passage West in a thoroughly entertaining decider played out in front of a huge crowd. The sides were level at 0-0 at half-time, but St Peters soon turned their territorial advantage into goals and raced into a 2-0 lead, before Eoin Morgan pulled one back for Glenamaddy in the 74th minute. Within a minute, however, Passage West went 3-1 up through Rema Mbakwa and they put the game to bed on 83 minutes when Liam Quinn scored his second of the afternoon. Glenamaddy did score an 89th-minute consolation through sub John O'Brien but Mbakwa completed his hat-trick deep into stoppage time with a penalty to leave the Cork school 5-2 winners at the finish. After the game, John Mulligan got the thoughts of Glenamaddy CS manager John Kennedy...
