BONAGEE UNITED manager Paul Higgins hailed his young side’s character after they overcame Swilly Rovers in last night’s Colin Breslin Cup final.
Jack Murphy’s hat-trick fired Bonagee to a memorable 4-3 win over Swilly at The Diamond Park.
For the young Bonagee side – many of whom play in the under-16 League – it was a moment to savour.
“We started the season with a wee small squad and we depended a lot on the under-16 team,” Higgins said.
“The boys have showed great character all season. I couldn’t be prouder. They worked hard and I’m delighted for them.”
Bonagee had to come from 3-2 down to take the silverware. Inspired by Murphy’s treble, the Dry Arch Park outfit did just that.
Higgins said: “The heart was going crazy. It was an entertaining game for the neutral. It was end-to-end at the end up.”
