Borris-Ileigh captain JD Devaney collected the Michael Delaney Cup after the game from North Board Chairperson and fellow club man, Micheal Tierney. This is Borris-Ileigh’s fifth win at this grade after previous victories in 1969, 1987, 1988 and 1997. Thanks to Templederry Kenyons who had the pitch in excellent conditions and to Philip Kelly and his team of match officials.
