Down SFC final

Carryduff 1-11 Kilcoo 1-17 (Full-time)

All over in Newry and it's Kilcoo who reign supreme again in the Mourne County. They pick up another Down SFC championship title in what was a hard-fought win over Carryduff.

Paul Devlin's penalty gave them a 0-5 to 1-6 lead at the break and they expanded it in the second-half. There was a brief fightback from Carryduff as they cut the gap down to 4 points when Eoin Donnelly's goal and a John McGeough two-pointer went in. However, Kilcoo withstood the storm to hang on comfortably.

Colm Keys reporting live from the Mayo SFC final which ended in stalemate:

Frank Irwin's equalising two-point free in the fourth minute of injury time earned champions Ballina Stephenites a reprieve in the Mayo SFC final against Westport.

The game twisted and turned dramatically a few times in the closing stages as first Westport surged three points clear, 0-15 to 0-12, after Finbar McLaughlin's two-pointer was followed by a two-point free and a free from Killian Kilkelly to give the 2022 champions a decisive edge playing with the wind.

With their title slipping away however, Evan Regan got a touch to a Mikey Murray delivery in the Westport goalmouth for a goal and parity, setting up a grandstand finish with four minutes of extra-time called.

Luke Doherty then gave Ballina the lead before Westport rebounded with a score from a most unlikely source, a two-pointer from corner-back Brian McDermott.

When Kilkelly put Westport two points clear it looked like their second title had been secured but with wing-back David Tighe winning a free Irwin stepped up and held his nerve with a kick from just outside the arc into the wind.

Ballina had led by 0-7 to 0-0 early on before Lee Keegan got Westport off the mark on 12 minutes.

In doing so, Keegan collided with Padraig O'Hora and both players were helped off the field, playing no further role.

At half-time Ballina led by 0-9 to 0-5 but had their work cut out to earn a replay which takes place on Saturday next.

Down SFC final

Carryduff 0-06 Kilcoo 1-09 (35 mins)

Into the second-half here in Pairc Esler and it's Kilcoo who lead by double scores as things stand. Since the resart, Paul Devlin, Jerome Johnston and Aaron Branagan have converted points, while Carryduff's Odhran Sherry managed a solitary score since the restart.

Carlow SFC final

Old Leighlin 1-11 Rathvilly 0-13 (Full-time)

A one-point cushion was enough for Old Leighin to claim Carlow football championship glory. The match-winning point came from Cathal Coughlin with the last play of the game.

Mayo SFC final

Ballina Stephenites 1-15 Westport 0-18 (Full-time)

The Mayo decider has gone to a replay and what a dramatic game it was. Ballina Stephenites surged into a 0-07 to 0-00 lead in the first 15 minutes but Westport battled back with a trio of important two-pointers from Finbarr McLaughlin, Killian Kilkelly and Brian McDermott gave them the lead. Ballina responded with a Ben Thornton goal and a late Frank Irwin two-pointer to level it up.

Laois SHC final

Clough Ballacolla 2-21 Camross 2-15 (Full-time)

Clough Ballacolla retain their Laois hurling championship crown with a six-point win over Camross. It was a much tighter game than the scoreboard suggests with only three points between the teams right up until the 55th-minute. Stephen Bergin's tally of 1-13 helped him pick up the man of the match award for Clough Ballacolla.

Limerick SHC final

Doon 2-17 Na Piarsaigh 2-17 (Full-time)

A thrilling end to the Limerick hurling final as Darragh O'Donovan briefly gave Doon the lead with a goal before Conor Boylan raised the umpires green flag at the other end. There's no time left to find a match-winning score, so a replay it is!

Westmeath SHC final

Castletown Geoghegan 1-23 Lough Lene Gaels 2-20 (Full-time)

The Westmeath senior hurling final goes to a replay after a dramatic late free from Niall O'Brien tied things up for Castletown. They live to fight another day and it promises to be a cracking replay as the team went back and forth all afternoon. O'Brien ended the day with a 1-15 share of their returns, while David Williams (1-12) was the standout man for Lough Lene.

Kildare SFC final

Athy 1-17 Naas 0-18 (Full-time)

Athy have stunned Naas in the Kildare football final with a two-point win this afternoon. Alex Beirne's quartet of two-point scores wasn't enough for Naas. Barry Kelly came up with the game's only goal while Cathal McCarron impressed with 0-3 from centre half-back.

Leitrim SFC final

Ballinamore 0-14 Leitrim Gaels 1-19 (Full-time)

Leitrim Gaels have emerged victorious in the county's championship final. A strong showing from Fermanagh native Garvan Jones (0-7) inspired them to victory, while Stephen Goldrick (0-4) and substitute David Regan (1-0) also made a difference.

Derry SFC final

O’Donovan Rossa 1-15 Sean O’Leary 1-17 (Full-time)

Sean O'Leary's have won the Derry senior football championship with two points to spare against O'Donovan Rossa of Magherafelt. Callum McGrogan found the net while full-forwards Oisin Doherty (0-4) and Sean Young (0-3) offered up inspiring performances.

Shane Heavron's 1-8 for O'Donovan Rossa wasn't enough in the end but deserves a special mention for that personal tally.

FULL-TIME: Midleton 1-14 Sarsfields 2-18

GOAL! That will be that for Sarsfields who will definitely retain their Cork hurling crown and make it an eighth championship title for the club.

A late goal from James Sweeney - his second of the game - was superbly taken as he skipped it off the ground and beyond Brion Saunderson.

60' Midleton 1-13 Sarsfields 1-18

Sarsfields have stabilized in the last few minutes to reel off three scores even though their wide tally currently sits at 14. Mikey Finn drills over a free for Midleton and we will have 3 minutes of added time to play - Midleton need a goal and fast!

54' Midleton 1-11 Sarsfields 1-15

Six minutes remaining and Midleton are still in this game after Brion Saunderson thumps over a long-range free to give them some hope.

Clough Ballacolla 2-07 Camross 1-05 (25 mins)

Laois champions Clough Ballacolla are showing their quality in this opening half with a strong lead built on two goals from Willie Dunphy and Stephen Bergin. Camross half-forward Zane Keenan has since netted for his side.

Ultan Corcoran

47' Midleton 1-09 Sarsfields 1-13

Mikey Finn taps over his fourth point of the game as Midleton look to claw themselves back closer to parity. Sars' shooting has been poor lately and Midleton take full advantage with another score from Pat White.

Limerick SHC final

Doon 1-05 Na Piarsaigh 0-08 (25 mins)

All square in the Limerick hurling final so far. It was Na Piarsaigh who roared out of the blocks outscoring Doon 0-01 to 0-04 before Dean Coleman's goal pulled Doon back into the game.
