Gallagher on fire as Naomh Ultan record U-21C win over Bundoran

A five-star performance from Luke Gallagher was the difference as Naomh Ultan recorded a good home win against Bundoran in the U-21C Championship.

Naomh Ultan 1-14
Bundoran 2-7

Gallagher hit 1-9 for the winners and the goal came in the last five minutes which sealed the win for the home side.

A sign of the times was that Bundoran chairman Brian McEniff had to act as umpire for the game.

The sides were deadlocked at half-time - Naomh Ultan 0-9, Bundoran 0-3. The home side led by five points at one stage in that opening half but two goals from corner forward Ryan Blanc pulled Bundoran back into the contest.

On a heavy pitch both sides put in a great display in otherwise perfect conditions. There was little between the sides for much of the second half before Gallagher’s goal saw Naomh Ultan pull away.
