Carndonagh 3-11
Aodh Ruadh 0-11
Carndonagh lifted the Intermediate Hurling title after a nine-point win over Aodh Ruadh at O’Donnell Park on Saturday afternoon.
The opening stanza of this encounter was a cagey affair, with the wind making conditions difficult for the players.
Aodh Ruadh started the stronger of the two teams and held a five-point cushion as we entered the closing stages of Act One.
But a major from Carndonagh’s Padraig Doherty closed the deficit to two at the midway point.

The Ballyshannon outfit tried to rally themselves back into proceedings in the closing stages.
But a late brace from Daire Tully capped off a fine afternoon for the Carndonagh side.
