Connacht champions St Brigid’s advanced into the final of the All-Ireland Club Senior Football Championship with a 1-16 to 1-12 victory over Scotstown at Breffni Park.
The Roscommon side enjoyed a good run to the half to open a four-point lead and they managed that gap throughout the second period as Scotstown spurned a number of opportunities.
It was the Monaghan side’s first appearance at this stage since winning their previous Ulster title in 1989 and they will have some regrets as they didn’t make their chances count, but it’s St Brigid’s who will meet Dingle in the final on Sunday, 18 January.
In freezing conditions, the sides produced an enthralling battle that swung this way and that in the opening period, but Scotstown just couldn’t reel the Connacht side in who return to the final for the first time since losing to Glen from Derry in the 2024 decider.
