Gaoth Dobhair's 2-13 to 1-9 victory over holders Wolfe Tones completed a clean sweep of Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta titles for Donegal in Kilcar over the Bank Holiday weekend. 

Peadar Mac Aoidh's 51st minute goal sealed Gaoth Dobhair's first All-Ireland senior men's title since 2013 against their Meath opponents, who were chasing their fourth in six years.

Wolfe Tones led by 1-6 to 1-5 at the break after Ross Ó Gallchóir - son of Donegal's 1992 All-Ireland SFC winning full back Matt Gallagher - and Adam Mac Íomhair (Gaobh Dobhair) had exchanged goals.

Naomh Columba were the first Donegal champions to be crowned when they won the ladies intermediate title. Hosts Kilcar won their first-ever junior ladies title when they edged out Clann na Gael by 2-5 to 1-6, while Termon defeated Claregalway 1-10 to 0-10 to take the senior ladies crown.

Fanad Gaels produced a superb second half comeback to defeat Mayo's Toormakeady by 2-18 to 3-9 in the men's junior final before Gaoth Dobhair made it five from five for Donegal in yesterday's senior men's decider.
