First county title for Ballingeary
In the worst conditions imaginable, the Gaeltacht club created history by winning their first ever adult county title and while no one would have quibbled had the game gone to extra time, Ballingeary just about deserved the win.
Their defence played a huge part in the victory. Holding out against driving wind and rain in the opening half, they kept Castletownbere to level scores, 0-2 each, before soaking up enormous pressure in the six minutes of added time for a thrilling victory.
