Danske Bank McDevitt cup final

St Malachy’s Belfast 3-4 St Patrick’s Keady 2-5

St Malachy’s Belfast won the Danske Bank McDevitt Cup on Wednesday when they beat St Patrick’s Keady in the final at St Patrick’s GAC Banbridge.

Ronan Niblock proved the star of the show for the Antrim Road college, bagging 2-1 overall in a man of the match display.

In a closely fought first half there was nothing to separate the sides, Niblock hitting the first goal as they sides ended the half on level terns at 1-3 apiece.

When Niblock got his team’s second goal just after the restart it was always going to be a long way back for the Armagh side. Bryan Cullen grabbed a goal for Keady to keep their hopes alive but St Malachy’s held out to win the game by two points
