ARDFERT was the venue for the St Brendan’s Board Championship final on Saturday and it was the home side who emerged triumphant over St Pat’s by a scoreline of 1-10 to 0-10.

Both teams went in at the break with 13 men as David O’Callaghan and Kieran Hurley for St Pat’s and Daithi Griffin and Darren Dineen saw the line in a fiery opening 30 minutes.
That six point lead proved too much to bridge for the Blennerville side, despite scoring three points in a row on the resumption.
However, when captain Ardfert captain Mike Moloney slotted home a penalty midway through the half, the home side went seven points up and it proved too big a lead to relinquish.
