Castleknock were on the end of a 73-0 hammering in Donnybrook in the Leinster Schools Junior Cup final.
St Vincent's Castleknock were hoping for their ninth title, while Michael's were looking for their seventh.
The star of the show was captain Herbie Boyle, brother of Ireland and Leinster loose head prop Jack.
The older sibling was a big name at U20s level, helping his country to a Grand Slam in 2023.
Over the last season his stock has risen even further, culminating in a senior Ireland debut off the bench against Wales in the Six Nations, before winning a second cap against Italy.
And 15-year-old Herbie looks like he could be joining him in a few years, after an unstoppable performance at No 8.
Three players combined for eight of Michael's 11 tries, with Boyle ending the game with four, while hooker Joshua Neville and winger Austin Currivan grabbed a brace each.
According to the Irish Times, it was the first time in a history that a team has won all its friendlies in a season and the every game in the Junior Cup.
