STARS FROM THE Roscommon footballers and Tipperary hurlers got the nod for The Sunday Game’s man-of-the-match awards this weekend.
There were incredible scenes as Roscommon rallied to dethrone Galway and win the Connacht SFC on Sunday.
Anthony Cunningham’s side produced a stunning second-half display to clinch the title after trailing the Tribesmen by five points at half-time.
Padraig Pearses defender Niall Daly scored one point to help the Rossies to a 1-13 to 0-12 victory, which secures a 23rd senior Connacht crown for the county.

Meanwhile, Tipperary made it four wins from four in the Munster SHC round-robin series. The Premier County overcame the reigning All-Ireland champions Limerick with an efficient performance in Semple Stadium.
Seamus Callanan’s 38th minute proved to be the difference between the sides as he finished with a tally of 1-4 from play.
