Coláiste Eoin 0-9 Knockbeg College 0-4:Coláiste Eoin led throughout this tie at Fr Maher Park, Graiguecullen, Carlow, yesterday and the school from Stillorgan sent 2005 Hogan Cup winners Knockbeg College, Carlow, crashing out of this year's competition.

The game saw Coláiste Eoin storm into a 0-4 to 0-0 lead despite playing into the wind.

Donie Kingston kicked both Knockbeg's first half points, one from a free, as they trailed 0-6 to 0-2 at the break.
