ANDY MORAN BROUGHT his club football career to a close on a brilliant note today, firing 3-3 to help his club Ballaghaderreen avoid senior football relegation in Mayo.

Moran bagged his hat-trick as Ballaghderreen won 6-8 to 2-8 against Davitts in the Mayo senior relegation semi-final.

The game was the last for Moran, the current Leitrim senior manager, in Ballaghderreen colours and he helped ensure his club will play senior football in 2023.

Moran, who turns 39 in November, won two county senior football medals with Ballaghaderreen in 2008 and 2012, while he was part of the club’s senior management in recent times as well.

In August 2019, Moran announced his inter-county senior retirement after a Mayo senior career that yielded 8 Connacht senior medals, a National League win in 2019, two All-Stars and the Footballer of the Year honour in 2017.

Guard of Honour for @andypmoran today for his last game in a Ballagh jersey. 3-3 today , not a bad way to say goodbye! Thanks for everything - a true legend 👍
