Listen: ‘A great day for us’ says victorious Naomh Colmcille boss McKinley

Ryan McKinley savoured the scenes around him as Naomh Colmcille won their third Junior A Championship title this afternoon.

Goals from Ryan McErlean and Matthew Crossan shot them to a 2-7 to 0-8 win over Red Hughs at O’Donnell Park.

Five up at one stage early in the second half, Naomh Colmcille wilted a little and Red Hughs stormed back, only for Crossan’s goal, after Damien Browne spurned a close-range free, to steer them away from the rocks.
