McHugh goal spurs Naomh Mhuire to glory

A Tomás McHugh goal after 20 minutes proved the decisive score in this keenly-contested All-Ireland Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta junior final at the magnificent Ballingeary venue yesterday.

There was little to choose between the teams throughout but the Naomh Mhuire forwards were that bit sharper even though they did kick 11 wides, the same as their opponents.

Achill’s approach work was excellent but faulty shooting cost them several scores. In contrast Naomh Mhuire, with limited possession, made it tell, and they led by two points after six minutes.
