Minor title for Wolfe Tones

Wolfe Tones captured the MFC Div 3 title at Simonstown last night with a hard-earned 2-9 to 1-7 victory over local rivals Rathkenny in a game that produced plenty of good football and an exciting finish.

The Tones laid the foundation for victory in the opening half and were ahead by 2-3 to 0-2 at the interval. They continued in the ascendancy after the resumption until Rathkenny launched a late rally that just came up short.

The Daire Maxwell Memorial Cup was presented by Fe 18 offical Ultan Fitzpatrick.

Former Co Board chairman Fintan Ginnity was a happy spectator at the game as two of his grandsons were on the winning Wolfe Tones team.

Two other finals were also played last night.

Ballivor captured the MFC Div 4 title with a 4-17 to 1-9 victory over Clann na nGael.

Inny Gales took the u-21 B FC titile with a 2-10 to 1-10 victory over Nobber which compounded a bad week for the Nobber club as they lost a MFC final last Sunday after extra-time against Dunderry.
