Photograph: InphoPádraig Pearses claimed their third Fahey Cup in six seasons as they overcame Storm Ashley and a rousing final-quarter comeback from Roscommon Gaels at a very wet and windy Dr Hyde Park.
Eoin Colleran, who captained the Roscommon minor footballers to provincial glory in 2020, stole the show with 1-3, while Paul Carey, the Daly brothers – Niall, Ronan and Conor – Declan Kenny and Niall Carty delivered big performances.
In the 16th minute, Pearses were really in the box seat when Carey did brilliantly to gather possession and set sail for goal. His shot was saved by Roscommon Gaels goalkeeper James Fetherstone, but Colleran was on hand to fire the rebound into an empty net. But Pearses reasserted their superiority with a couple of frees from Carey and another from play by Colleran left them 1-7 to 1-1 ahead at the change of ends.
