St Brigid’s secured a spot in the Hodson Bay Hotel Roscommon SFC semi-final, overpowering a lackluster Roscommon Gaels side with a 1-18 to 1-7 victory in Ballyforan. A first-half goal from John McGuinness kept the Gaels close, trailing 0-6 to 1-2 at halftime. However, St Brigid’s, led by a scintillating performance from Ben O’Carroll and Bobby Nugent, dominated the second half with a flurry of unanswered points, sealed by O’Carroll’s injury-time goal, showcasing Anthony Cunningham’s team at their best.
In another clash, Western Gaels ensured their senior football status for a fifth consecutive year, defeating St Dominic’s 1-10 to 0-9 in Kilbride. A crucial late goal from Finbar Cregg secured the win, condemning St Dominic’s to the intermediate championship in 2026.
