Double delight for Donegal at Comórtas

DONEGAL secured a double at the Comórtas Peile na Gealtachta in Falcarragh yesterday as hosts Cloughaneely lifted their third All-Ireland senior title with a hard-fought victory over Moycullen of Galway while Naomh Mhuire took the junior title.

Cloughaneely opened at a blistering pace and knocked over two points inside seven minutes from Sean Maguire and Ciaran Scanlon, after good work by Denis Boyle.

Playing with the breeze, it was all Cloughaneely but they were rocked on 13 minutes when Raymond Hogan raced onto a broken ball after Michael Lynch slipped to give Lee McFadden no chance and at the break they had a one point lead, 0-5 to 1-1.
