    I believe the correct grammar would be "dheacra", though it'd need confirmation. Troid means fight, streachailt is the word for struggle. So we have:

    Dá dheacra an streachailt, is fearr an bua.

    I think it works, but wait for more confirmation. What exactly do you mean by triumph by the way? Bua can work in the sense of it meaning "victory" or "overcoming". But "éacht" would be better if you mean it in the sense of a singular feat of some kind.
