Danske Bank Nagle Cup Football Final
St Killian’s Garron Tower 9-12 Gairmscoil Cú Uladh Donegal 1-2
ST KILLIAN’S Garron Tower picked up their second provincial trophy in 24 hours with the footballers collecting the Danske Bank Nagle Cup in Celtic Park Derry on Tuesday morning.
The girls in the same age group won the FMC Appliances camogie Shield on Monday and that seemed to drive their class-mates on to a comprehensive win over the Donegal Gaeltacht school.
Captain Daire Higgins, Colla Ward, Callagh Higgins and Oran McClintock were all outstanding as the north Antrim school cut through Gairmscoil’s defence to take a commanding 6-3 to 0-1 lead at the interval.
Ward claimed the scoring accolades with four goals, while Daire Higgins landed six points before the end.
Seagahan Mac Cormaic and Oisín Mag Fhloinn looked the part for the Donegal school, but the Antrim boys worked the ball quickly into the danger area and kept them under pressure at the back.
St Killian’s: Colla Ward 4-0, Canice McIntosh 1-2, Charlie McAuley 1-1, Tomas McLaughlin 1-0, Oisin McKeown 1-0, Sean og O’Neill 1-0, Daire Higgins 0-6, Oran McClintock 0-1, Cahir McNaughton 0-1, Callum McIlwaine 0-1
Gairmscoil Cú Uladh: Darragh Mac a’ tSeachlainn 1-0, Oisín Mag Fhloinn 0-1, Seaghan Mac Cormaic point 0-1.
