Ballyraine FC are Donegal Youth League Champions for the first time in their history.
The team managed by Enda Nicholls and Kyle Maloney finished the season unbeaten and got over the line in the most dramatic of fashions.
Sitting two points behind Bonagee united with both teams playing out a pulsating 2 -2 draw in the penultimate game of the season, Ballyraine were to host Raphoe/Killea at home whilst the leaders Bonagee headed through the gap to face Drumbar United FC.
A win would guarantee the title for Bonagee regardless whilst a draw and a Ballyraine victory would see a play off.
As it happened Drumbar United defeated Bonagee 2 – 1 and Ballyraine got the 3 points as Raphoe/Kille didn’t field and so the Ballyraine boys are Champions at Youth level for the very first time.
There will be a huge smile on the face of Charlie Shields and the late Andy O Boyle this week.
