Fellow coach Michael Ferguson added, “It was a very spirited game of football from start to finish.
“Ballyhegan’s fitness came to the fore in a hard-fought match and they pulled away worthy winners.”
The double victory is even more poignant for the women as teammate Sarah Louise Doherty was involved in a serious car accident in June.
