Currie boys lead Na Fianna to first Dublin SHC crown

Na Fianna 2-19 Ballyboden St Enda's 0-9

Brothers Sean and Colin Currie combined in devastating fashion to power Na Fianna to a maiden Dublin SHC title.

Following defeats to Kilmacud Crokes in each of the last two finals, and in the absence of injured captain Donal Burke, the Mobhi Road men looked like they may be up against it as they faced a powerhouse of the capital hurling scene.

But Niall O Ceallachain's side hit 'Boden hard and early at Parnell Park to effectively wrap up victory long before time.

Sean Currie slammed 2-05 in total with both goals coming in the first-half while his brother Colin, who also played for Dublin this year, helped himself to 0-10 in total for a side featuring ex-All-Star Liam Rushe at centre-back.

Ballyboden lost substitute and former Tipperary All-Ireland medallist Timmy Hammersley to a red card just minutes after he came on in the final quarter.

In truth, the damage had all been done by that stage as Na Fianna cantered to a whopping 16-point win over the seven-time champions.

Curiously, it's the first time a team from north Dublin has won the county title since Craobh Chiarain in 2006.

Na Fianna will enter the Leinster club SHC for the first time on November 12 when they meet Westmeath champions Raharney in Mullingar in a quarter-final tie.

A rampant Na Fianna hit the interval with a massive 2-10 to 0-6 advantage and while that looked a near unassailable lead, their supporters didn't dare count their chickens.
