They put in a very strong second half performance but failed to capitalize on their possession The Final Score was Red Hughs 1-6 Letterkenny Gaels 0-11

Minor Boys
The minors played St Micheals in the county division two final in O Donnell Park in Letterkenny in Monday night. The lads from Dunfanaghy were really up for this one as the Reds the had beaten them in the Northern Final earlier.
The Hugh’s lads took a while to settle into the game and were four down before they got a penalty to close the gap to a single point again. But the St Micheals lads upped the anti again and went in at the break four to the good 1-2 to 1-6.
The Reds struggled to compete in the middle of the park and St Micheals took control and were getting all the breaks. The writing was on the wall as the game went on. It was clear that they weren’t going to let the Reds back into this one and ran out deserving winners on the night. red Hugh’s 1-3 St Micheals 2-11
The lads will have a few weeks break now before the championship starts in July. I’m sure they will be all the stronger for this defeat and will be ready when the time comes to give it their best shot.
