Na Piarsaigh 2-22 Doon 3-10
Though they scored goals inside two minutes of each half Doon were well beaten by a Na Piarsaigh side laden with members of Limerick’s All-Ireland winning side.
The sides were level five times in a first half dominated by Doon who wasted too many scoring chances.
Winning their fifth title, and their first ever two-in-a-row, Na Piarsaigh upped the pace in the final quarter as they picked off a succession of points, mainly from Shane Dowling frees.
Experience played a huge part in the win which was sparked by a huge display from Alan Dempsey - he scored four points from play in the first half.
It was all one way traffic once Na Piarsaigh led at half-time by three points, 0-11 to 1-5, with most of the Doon points scored by Barry Murphy after Pat Ryan’s second minute goal gave them huge encouragement.
Dean Coleman’s goal a minute into the second half tied matters for the sixth time but then followed the Na Piarsaigh scoring spree.
