St. Brigid's land 19th Roscommon title

St. Brigid’s landed the Roscommon senior football title with a four point win over Padraig Pearses.

A 19^th county title arrived for the Kiltoom side when they outfoxed Padraig Pearse with keeper Connor Carroll the man-of-the-match.

Padraig Pearses stormed in front with a Sean Canning goal after 11th minutes. It was a game defined by goal chances. Conor Ryan’s converted a 14^th minute ’45 to leave Pearses 1-3 to 0-3 ahead.

However, Brigid’s led at half-time. Bobby Nugent did the damage with five points as Brigids led 0-10 to 1-5 at half-time.

The turning point, Carroll big save from Hubert Darcy on 20 minutes.

Ben O'Carroll did equal damage as Nugent in the second-half with two fine points from play.

Pearses went 18 minutes without a score as Brigid’s took control in the second-half. Brian Derwin’s goal six minutes from time pushing Brigid’s over the line.

In the period before the goal, Carroll made two super saves to deny Pearses a major. Whereas, Hubert Darcy rattled the Brigid’s cross, when he really should have scored.

Ben O’Carroll wrapped up the scoring three minutes into injury time as Brigids landed their 19^th senior county title, a convincing 1-16 to 1-12 victory.

St. Brigid’s now go onto face either Mayo champions Ballina Stephenites or North London Shamrocks in the Connacht semi-final on November 15^th or 16^th.
