Benny Coulter scored a first-half goal for Mayobridge at Newcastle
|
Mayobridge hammered Burren in Sunday's Powerade Down football final to secure their third title in a row.
The first half was a complete disaster for James McCartan's Burren outfit as they failed to score and conceded a goal and eight points.
Mayobridge were already seven points clear when County star Benny Coulter blasted into the net after John Quinn had played the ball across.
Burren had two penalties but both were saved by Bridge's Sean Featherstone.
In the first half Featherstone denied James McGovern and in the second dived to turn Eoin McCartan's effort round a post.
Mayobridge were dominant from the start and were five points up after just six minutes through scores from Coulter (2), Cathal Magee, Michael Walsh and John Quinn.
Walsh added two more frees before Coulter netted his goal.
There were ironic cheers when Burren eventually got on the scoreboard with a P J McAlinden point.
Eamon McGovern, Kevin McGivern and Kevin McKernan added to the tally but Burren were never in real contention.
Afterwards Mayobridge manager Linden savoured the success.
"This was our goal at the start of the year, to win three in a row for the club," he said.
"We brought in some young lads and lost a few league games but I feel it has paid off now."
