Kelly goals seals title for Rossies

Roscommon 1-13 Sligo 0-15

A 58th-minute goal from Colm Kelly proved crucial today as Roscommon claimed victory in today's NHL Division Three final at Breffni Park.

In what their first senior final since 1997, the Rossies triumphed despite having David Loughnane sent off for a straight red card offence in the ninth minute.

Sligo sharpshooter Keith Raymond hit seven of his side's eight first half points, but Roscommon only trailed by the minimum at half-time thanks to free-taker Shane Sweeney.

Three Sweeney frees helped the Rossies go ahead, Kelly's goal followed and although Paul Seevers kept Sligo competitive, time ran out on the 2004 winners.
