Karen Guthrie’s voice was quivering as she tried to assess Glenfin winning back the Donegal senior ladies title this evening.
A nervy, tense and yet absorbing final saw Glenfin prevail 1-9 to 1-7.
Glenfin didn’t score in the last 20 minutes and had to withstand a mountain of pressure late in the game.
“We made hard work as always,” Guthrie said.
“We played with a stiff wind and we struggled in patches. Moville are a quality side, but we made hard work when we didn’t need to. When you’re nervous and out there it’s a different story.”
Glenfin lost last year’s final to Moville and it was a defeat that left them in what the Castlefin woman says was a ‘dark’ place.
She said: “There’s been a lot of hurt.
“Everyone was questioning what was going on. We were in a bad place, a really bad place, after last year. Sometimes when you’re in a rut it’s hard to reverse.”
