Daly eyes dream double

LAST Saturday in Kiltoom was the type of county final experience Niall Daly has always dreamed of.

Surrounded by family and friends, he celebrated as Padraig Pearses claimed the Roscommon IFC title with a six-point victory in a final replay with St Dominic’s.

It was a notable triumph for the Woodmount-based club, which brushes the border with the east Galway town of Ballinasloe and is located on the old N6 Galway-Dublin road. Just 12 months ago they had been relegated from the Roscommon senior ranks but ensured their sojourn at intermediate level would be a brief one.
