Our Lady & St Patrick's claim All-Ireland title

Our Lady and St Patrick's College [OLSPCK] claimed the All-Ireland Senior Port-Primary Schools title with a 4-11 to 2-7 win over St Joseph's, Spanish Point. The east Belfast school became the 13th-straight new winner of the competition with a superb performance against the Clare school in Carlow's Dr Cullen Park. Four goals in the space of 20 minutes proved decisive with Grace Guest netting twice, while player-of-the-match Evie McHugh and Holly Donnelly also raised green flags.

However, it was the Munster side which was first to hit the net in a wind-assisted opening half with Ellie Hanrahan getting on the end of Emily Shannon's delivery to finish. The west Clare side would hold the advantage until the 23rd minute when they were rocked by two goals in the space of a minute as McHugh and Guest profited from interceptions to tip the balance in their side's favour. There were further sightings of goal for the Ulster champions as Abigail Hanvey's effort cleared the bar, but Our Lady and St Patrick's took a 2-5 to 1-3 lead into the break.

St Joseph's rallied early in the second half with two of the opening three scores, but the Belfast side would enjoy a match-winning purple patch which began with Donnelly grabbing a goal following a pass by Rose Horisk. They would tag on four points on the spin before Guest grabbed her second and their fourth to push the gap out to 14. That was that despite the Knock college seeing two players sin-binned to St Joseph's one and while the Clare side found a second goal through Simone Considine, it was late consolation as OLSPCK took their title.
