Cuala and Na Fianna made history on the double at Croke Park last night when they became the first Dublin clubs to win both Leinster senior football and hurling crowns.

First-time Dublin senior football champions Cuala edged out Ardee St Mary's to add the Leinster club SFC title to the two Leinster club SHC titles they won in 2016 and '17 when dual star Con O'Callaghan was also involved.

In the second part of the double-header, Na Fianna's hurlers emulated their footballers, who won Leinster in 1999, with a six-point victory over Kilcormac/Killoughey.

Kilmacud Crokes and Ballyboden St Enda's are the other Dublin clubs to have contested Leinster finals in both codes, but fell short of landing hurling honours.
