The side managed by Keith Ó Fearraigh were 4-2 winners after extra-time against Errigal College at An Screaban this afternoon. The scores were tied at 1-1 before Errigal College went 2-1 in front following a free-kick from Sean Cleary. It was still 2-1 in the closing stages as Ciaran Cleary, the Errigal College goalkeeper, made a stunning save to deny Daire Ó Baoill. However, with the score tied at 2-2 in extra-time, Seaghan Ó Fearraigh held his nerve from 12 yards in the first period of extra-time slotting home to go 3-2 in front. Then, in the last minute, Seaghan Ó Fearraigh was up again as Pobalscoil were awarded a second penalty and he made no mistake with the last kick of the match to hand Pobalscoil the win.
