Hide AdMcDowell increased the Pegasus advantage by collecting possession on the right wing, cutting in and steering a reverse strike from the top of the circle into the bottom corner.
Caldwell converted a reverse strike home off the crossbar after 47 minutes from an unmarked position at the top of the circle.
"It was good...always good winning a trophy at the end of the season, the last match of the season too,” said Pegasus coach Phil Rankin across Ulster Hockey social media. “It’s been a tough one, so it’s really good for everybody to just finish on a wee bit of a high.”
