Derrygonnelly Harps 0-10

Roslea Shamrocks 1-3

Derrygonnelly have done a Dublin on it by achieving a five-in-a-row of Fermanagh SFC titles at Roslea's expense.

The holders scored the last four points of a rain-soaked contest at Brewster Park to maintain their vice-like grip on the New York Cup. After the outstanding Conall Jones opened the scoring, Sean Quigley fired a goal chance wide for the Peter McGinnitty-managed Roslea, who were seeking their first title since 2014. But they didn't have long to wait for Niall Cosgrove to raise the game's only green flag from a long ball which deceived goalkeeper Odhran McBrien.

However, aided by three Garvan Jones points, the Harps recovered to take a 0-6 to 1-1 lead into the interval.

Roslea introduced county man James McMahon and Conor Mulligan for the second half and were soon level through points from Brendan Sherlock and John Connolly. But they wouldn't score again as unanswered points from Shane McGullion, Kevin Cassidy, Connall Jones and Aidan McKenna in the final quarter secured another title for Derrygonnelly.
