Declan Boyle told his Finn Harps U17s to make sure they came back to the dressing room with the Cup – and they delivered in yesterday’s Mark Farren Cup final.
Daragh Ellison’s late penalty was the decisive moment as Harps beat Cork City 1-0 at Finn Park.
Boyle, who was captain of the Harps side that lost an FAI Cup final marathon to Bray in 1999, was thrilled to see a young batch deliver on the big stage.
“We’re delighted to get over the line,” the Killybegs native said.
“For the players, it’s about trophies. When you get to a final, you have to win the trophy and get a medal.
“We were excellent throughout and fully deserved out victory. I’m so happy that they delivered. Finn Harps went toe-to-toe with Cork City, won and won well.”
