SUPERCUPNI: Finals day delivers title wins for county sides, British clubs and international visitors

County Londonderry took the lead in the Boys (Premier) showdown against Tigres in the first minute through Jacob Dallas and held on to that advantage until the final whistle.

“It’s a little bit hard to take in,” said Smith. “I’m immensely proud and I told the team before the game that they had someone in that stand that they could make so proud.

“We have done it the hard way defeating Rangers and Manchester United and those sorts of memories are the things our boys will never forget.”

Dallas broke the deadlock in bizarre fashion as the centre-half received the ball and smashed it upfield to clear but Tigres’ keeper Luis Sanchez completely misjudged the bounce of the ball, leading to it to fly over his head into the back of the net.

The county side used this dream start to fuel a strong opening 10 minutes.

But Tigres then started to take hold of proceedings, going close with a Luis Mange free-kick.

Alfie Gaston then fired his acrobatic finish just over or County Londonderry, after mesmerising stuff from captain Senan Devine to tee him up.

Sanchez produced a great second-half save off Gaston’s volley.

Bobby Baird then had two headed opportunities from set-piece deliveries - but on both occasions he headed over the bar.

Gustavo Gonzalez went close for the Mexican side in the 44th minute but shot wide of the post.

Sam McClintock was then brought down in the box, but the substitute couldn’t score the penalty to secure that two-goal advantage.

However, County Londonderry finished as champions.
