After the half time break, Aodh Ruadh outperformed the odds-on favourites Gaoth Dobhair to win the Senior B Championship in MacCumhaill Park on Sunday.
The score was tied at 0-04 to 0-04 at the break.
Damian Weber scored a goal four minutes into the second half to give his team a three-point lead. The Ballyshannon team continued to gain ground after that, but a late rally by the Gaeltacht Men saw them score four points without a response, but it wasn’t enough to win the match.
It ended, Goath Dobhair 0–09, Aodh Ruadh 1–07.
After the match-winning manager Brian Gillespie said “It’s nice to be champions”, he was also happy to see his players “winning something.”
