Donegal hurlers lifted the Conor McGurk Cup title for 2023 on Thursday night with a comprehensive 5-28 to 0-12 win over Ulster University at the Dub in Belfast.
The final of Ulster hurling's warm-up competition had been delayed for a few weeks because of fixture congestion around the national league.
Here, Donegal were always in control and led by 2-12 to 0-8.
Mickey McCann's side added three more second-half goals to run out convincing winners.
The competition is named to honour the memory of former Queen’s University hurling club member, Conor McGurk, who passed away suddenly in 2014.
Conor studied Science at Queen’s and was an active member of the university hurling club.
He played in two Fitzgibbon finals and was twice picked as goalkeeper on combined University teams, the highest accolade in Higher Education hurling.
