Ardee St. Mary's 2-02 Naomh Mairtin 0-04 Ardee St. Mary's made history in McGeough Park in Haggardstown by becoming the third team in Louth to win three senior titles in a row.The four-point victory was hard earned against a dogged Naomh Mairtin side in a repeat of last years final.

Ardee were denied the feat in 1957, but they now join Cooley Kickhams Wolfe Tones and Newtown Blues who did it two occasions in the pantheon of great Louth teams in history.Ironically, luck plays a huge part in this runs and an early goal from Kian Moran was fortunate in it’s nature.

Sure, Moran took a stab from distance with the gale at his back in the opening half but the ball dipped rapidly and under the Mairtin’s cross bar.The blustery conditions may have cause the confusion for county goalkeeper Craig Lynch but the deceived shot was crucial with the scores so limited due to the conditions.

That allowed Ardee to breath and control the game on their terms with the lead. They would kick seven wides so the advantages wasn’t as it seemed.At the other end of the field, Naomh Mairtin were tirelessly trying to run the ball but got very little change out of the McKenny brothers, Pa and Donal.
