Donegal Ladies win Minor Title

All-Ireland Ladies Minor Football Championship Final:
Donegal 5-13  Clare 5-05

Donegal beat red hot favorites Clare 5-13 to 5-5 to claim their first ever All Ireland underage title in Tullamore on Sunday. After a close first half the sides were level at 3-3 each however in the second half Donegal showed how good they really are by going on to win by eight points. Geraldine Mc Laughlin at full forward was outstanding scoring 3-5 but the player of the macth award went to midfielder Ciara Hegarty who covered every blade of grass.

The result is a welcome tonic for mentor Kenny Griffin who has been involved in Donegal ladies football for 18 years. Kenny has lost several All Ireland finals so this win is proof that if you persist you will eventually get that elusive All Ireland title.
