A HUGE DAY of county football final action around the country concluded with several major storylines – Mayo’s David Brady managed Ratoath to Meath senior football title glory, Ballybay ended their 10-year waith for glory in the Monaghan senior football championship and All-Ireland kingpins Kilcoo survived after extra-time in the Down final.
In Meath there was late drama in Navan as both managers, David Brady (Ratoath) and Conor Gillespie (Summerhill) were both sent-off in injury-time following a sideline clash. Victory landed Ratoath their third title in four seasons, 0-12 to 0-11 victors with Daithi McGowan (0-4) and Eamonn Wallace (0-3) leading the way in the scoring stakes.
In Monaghan it was a momentous day for Ballybay Pearse Brothers as they won their first championship since 2012. Scotstown have dominated the club scene in the county of late but their three-in-a-row ambitions ended as they lost out 1-11 to 1-8 in Clones. Man-of-the-match Dessie Ward scored 1-3 for the winners, while Christopher McGuinness kicked 0-4.
Down champions Kilcoo won their 11th title since 2009 but only after an extra-time win over Warrenpoint by 1-13 to 0-15. Ryan Johnston scored 1-1 for the All-Ireland champions, while Paul Devlin hit 0-4 and Miceal Rooney scored 0-3.
Elsewhere today Gowna ended a 20-year wait for Cavan senior football glory, while champions Éire Óg Ennis are back in the Clare decider.
Tourlestrane clinched seven-in-a-row in Sligo after their extra-time success, while St Mary’s were crowned Leitrim champions and Ardee St Mary’s won the Louth final replay.
In Tyrone the senior semi-final ties today were won by Errigal Ciarán and Carrickmore.
Meanwhile, there will be new Leinster senior ladies football club champions in 2022 as Kilmacud Crokes got the better of holders St Peter’s Dunboyne this afternoon. The Dubliners won on a scoreline of 2-12 to 0-6, while Eadestown of Kildare and Tinahely of Wicklow also advanced in the competition.
Burrishoole won the Mayo senior ladies football championship for the first time after a last-gasp 0-6 to 1-2 win over reigning champions Knockmore. Knockmore dethroned long-time kingpins Carnacon in last year’s final, and also ended their involvement in this year’s race.
And yesterday, Kilkerrin-Clonberne made it 10 in-a-row ladies football titles in Galway.
