WEXFORD SFC FINAL Castletown 0-12 Kilanerin 0-9:COLM MORRIS orchestrated this game from centre back as Castletown shrugged off the Kilanerin challenge to win the county final at Wexford Park.

Castletown may have been playing the clash of the neighbouring parishes down all week, but it was veteran Morris who stole the show with a flawless display.

Kilanerin were never able to impose any control on this game which can be best gauged in that star attacker Matty Forde was held to a single point from play, Danny Gardiner shone in his man-marking job as he got in some timely tackles and interceptions.

It was Castletown's first title since 1981.
