Dromahair manager Gerry Ballantine has hailed his side's work ethic as they claimed the IFC title.

A 4-06 to 0-06 win over Ballinamore was borne out of hard work according to Ballantine as the club stepped up to the senior ranks after a decade of near misses.

"They knew they would have to dig deep, they knew Ballinamore would come with a lot of experience. No more than ourselves, they had picked it up along the way," Ballantine told the Leitrim Observer.

"It was always going to be 50/50 and it was probably going to be the team that dug deeper that got the result."
