Naomh Conaill retained the Donegal senior football championship title in dramatic fashion on Saturday night, when they won the delayed 2020 final against Kilcar on a penalty shoot-out.
The final, which took place 11 months after the team’s respective semi-final wins because of Covid, finished level at the end of extra-time (Naomh Conaill 2-7 Kilcar 0-13).
