St Gabriel's retained their London SH title in convincing style with a six-point victory over a disappointing Brothers Pearse side at Ruislip yesterday. Two early goals in quick succession by corner forward Gary Quinlan put the champions in the driving seat. This victory means that St Gabriel's have now won the title 11 times over a 25-year period.
