St Brigid’s were crowned Connacht club champions for a sixth time after Ruaidhrí Fallon’s late goal and Conor Hand’s 0-7 haul tilted the pendulum in their side’s after a terrific battle with Maigh Cuilinn at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park.

Hand’s tour-de-force had kept Anthony Cunningham’s side very much in contention before Fallon delivered the knockout blow with three minutes remaining.
