Diarmuid Connolly scored 12 points as Donegal Boston overcame Wolfe Tones in the Senior Championship final in Canton.

Donegal Boston had two points to spare in a 0-17 to 1-12 win.

Donegal Boston are managed by Buncrana native Padraic McLaughlin and landed a huge coup this summer by securing the services of two-time All-Star and five-time All-Ireland winner Connolly.

In this evening’s final, Connolly kicked a dozen points to steer Donegal Boston to victory.

St Michael’s man Lee Carr scored one of the Donegal Boston points, while Hugh ‘Yank’ Boyle (Naomh Muire), Sean Doherty (Urris) and Michael Carroll (Gaoth Dobhair) also started alongside the captain, Jason Noctor from Killybegs.

Derry’s Ciaran McFaul kicked 0-2 with Dubliner Shane Carthy and Crossmaglen’s Oisin O’Neill getting the other two points.
