Four Roads are Roscommon senior hurling champions for the 37th time after recording a 3-12 to 2-11 victory over St Dominic’s at Dr Hyde Park this afternoon.

Conor Morris starred with 2-5 over the hour for the holders as their late surge saw them complete another three-in-a-row feat and further extend their lead of SHC titles over Roscommon Gaels (24).

The winners’ dire start saw them conceding a Mickey Joe Egan goal just three minutes into this decider and the same player would bet again in the 21st minute.

A Morris point eventually got Four Roads off the mark a minute later and they’d grab a deflected goal from Brian Mannion a minute before half-time to go in trailing 2-8 to 1-3.

Morris and Cathal Dolan helped trim the difference down to five after the change of ends and, from there, the final quarter would belong to the champions.

A second goal from Morris was backed up by an Adam Donnelly point before Morris’s ‘65’ surged them ahead and a goal from Donnelly in injury-time sealed another Mickey Cunniffe Cup for Four Roads.

Four Roads Captain, Conor Coyle lifts the Mickey Cunniffe Cup after his team’s win over St. Dominic’s in this afternoon’s Kepak Senior Hurling Final at Dr. Hyde Park.
