Former underage Ratoath GAA star wins All-Ireland club SHC with Na Fianna

A former Ratoath GAA underage star, Gavin King, has won the AIB All Ireland Club with his club Na Fianna. Na Fianna were crowned All Ireland SHC champions on Sunday afternoon after a 2-23 to 0-20 win over Sarsfields. Gavin is a former student of Ratoath College and in his juvenile days, captained Ratoath to an U13 Championship.

King has been an important presence in the Na Fianna team all year and was due to start Sunday's final. However, there was a late change to the starting 15 but the former Ratoath star did make an appearance off the bench for the now All Ireland club SHC champions.

Na Fianna were crowned county champions after they beat Kilmacud Crokes in an enthralling Dublin SHC Final last October. Niall O'Ceallacháin's side got the better of Kilcormac-Killoughey in the Leinster SHC final before a slender one-point win over Loughrea in the semi-final.
