St Michael's defeated Naomh Conaill in the County U-13 Division 2 Cup final in Convoy this afternoon and on their return to Creeslough paid a moment's silence the service station where 10 people lost their lives earlier this month

St Michael's GAA club side brought a smile back to the people of Creeslough and Dunfanghy this afternoon when they won the Donegal Under-13 Division 2 Cup at the Donegal Training Centre in Convoy.

Paul Sweeney's side were 3-7 to 2-7 victors over Naomh Conaill in the final, with Donegal's 2012 All-Ireland winning manager Jim McGuinness part of the backroom team that also includes Neil Toye, Denis Sheridan and Bernie McGinley.

Mark Anthony McGuinness - Jim's son - captained the St Michael's team having also scored a personal total of 2-1 against the club his father represented. 

On their return to Creeslough, the St Michael's panel and management stopped to pay their respects to the 10 people who lost their lives at the service station explosion earlier this month. 

Leona Harper, Robert Garwe and his daughter Shauna Flanagan Garwe, Jessica Gallagher, James O'Flaherty, Martina Martin, Hugh Kelly, Catherine O'Donnell with her son James Monaghan and Martin McGill all died in the explosion.
