Three rapid-fire goals from Declan O'Sullivan, Colin Crowley and Cathal Fitzgerald in the opening quarter paved the way for Dingle CBS to edge out St Mark's at Limerick yesterday.

The Dublin boys fought bravely, but Dingle's confidence had soared after that early scoring burst and they were not going to be caught afterwards, despite the best efforts of Dave O'Callaghan, Gary Ryan and Cathal O Hare.
