Kerrykeel 71 have won the Donegal Physiotherapy & Performance Centre Division 2 league title after a nail-biting end to the season at Rab’s Park this afternoon.
Coming into the contest, Hughie Walsh’s side knew they had to defeat title-rivals Convoy Arsenal to claim glory as a draw or a win for the visitors would have handed them the league instead.
Kerrykeel went 1-0 up on 51 minutes through Brandon McClafferty and doubled their lead when Bernard McGettigan found the net with 11 minutes to play.
