Derrygonnelly were crowned Fermanagh Senior Football champions for the fourth consecutive year at Brewster Park today.

The reigning champions registered an impressive 2-16 to 0-10 victory Ederney St Joseph’s in the Ernesider showpiece.

With captain Ryan Jones leading by example, the champions pulled away in the second-half after shading the first-half exchanges.
