Buncrana Hearts won the Ulster Junior Cup for the third year in succession as they defeated Letterkenny Rovers 7-6 in a dramatic penalty shoot-out at the end of one of the most controversial finals ever played at the Donegal League headquarters in Ballyare.
The sides had finished 2-2 at the end of normal time and extra-time on a night when the officials came in for a storm of criticism in what was an incident filled and bruising encounter.
Both sides had a man sent-off – and Rovers also saw their physio being given his marching orders.
The drama and controversy continued into the penalty shoot-out with more talking points.
But ultimately in the lottery that is a penalty shoot-out, Buncrana prevailed but so many of the talking points were not about the football and Rovers, on particular, felt so many things had gone against them.
