THERE are celebrations in the Rosses tonight after Naomh Muire won today’s Intermediate Championship title in a fine final win over St Naul’s at O’Donnell Park, Letterkenny.
In the end the Annagry men had six points to spare, winning on a scoreline of 1-13 to 1-07.
The Yank Boyles did most of the damage, Shaun scoring the early first half goal, leaving his marker and firing past Lee McBrearty.
When Harry Harden had a chance of a second goal, his effort was blocked by an illegal foot challenge, but Paul Yank Boyle had his penalty saved.
It was a let off for St Naul’s who went in at half-time trailing 1-06 to 0-05.
Shaun and Paul both pointed at the start of the second half and it was all Naomh Muire after that.
St Naul’s James Flynn bagged a goal in the dying seconds but it was merely a consolation.
St Naul’s can look forward to Division 2 football next year and there is little doubt that Naomh Muire deserved today’s championship.
