Padraig Pearses 1-11

Clann na nGael 1-10

Lorcan Daly's point deep into injury-time handed holders Padraig Pearses a dramatic victory over Clann na nGael in their Roscommon SFC semi-final clash.

At half-time, there was nothing to separate the sides on 0-6 apiece and extra-time looked to be on the cards at Dr Hyde Park this afternoon until Daly sent over the winning score with the last kick of the game.

Emmet Kelly's goal on the restart propelled Pearses towards a 1-8 to 0-6 lead but Liam Kearns' team hit back with an unanswered 1-3 to take to the front for the first time since the second minute.

Clann maintained a one-point advantage in injury-time before a Sean Kelly free levelled matters and wing forward Daly had the final say.
