Derrygonnelly maintained their vice-like grip on the Fermanagh SFC silverware courtesy of a 0-15 to 0-8 final victory over Devenish in Brewster Park today.

An attendance of 3,123 showed up to witness the winners make it a three-in-a-row of county title successes.

Eamon McHugh, Paul Ward and Kevin Cassidy were amongst the scorers in the first half.
