Killybegs hold off the challenge of Naomh Padraig in Division Two Minor final

On a night of exciting Minor finals, Thursday evening’s Division Two decider didn’t disappoint as Killybegs ran out narrow winners against Naomh Padraig Uisce Chaoin.

Killybegs . . . 4-10
Naomh Padraig Uisce Chaoin . . . 3-10

This match was part of a double-header at the Donegal GAA Training Centre in Convoy.

At the same time on the adjacent pitch, the Dungloe v St. Eunan’s Division One final went to extra-time before Dungloe won a thrilling Division One final.

And the game between Killybegs and Naomh Padraig proved just as exciting.

Killybegs were 4-05 to 2-06 in front at half time and looked in a strong position.

Killybegs however, so impressive in their league campaign, had done just enough to win.
