GAA: St Brigid's see off Castlehaven to book All-Ireland Final spot
St Brigid's of Roscommon have secured their place in this year's All-Ireland Senior Club Football Final after beating Cork's Castlehaven 1-11 to 0-10.
The game at Semple Stadium went ahead despite slightly frosty conditions, unlike fixtures in other parts of the country which were called off due to poor conditions.
A strong opening half from the Roscommon men, including a goal from Brian Derwin in the 11th minute, saw them 1-7 to 0-6 to the good at the break.
It’s all over!!!
Massive congratulations to St Brigid’s.

Although the Cork champions fought back after the restart, aided by Brian Hurley's cool head over the placed ball, it wasn't enough to see them make up the deficit.
St Brigid's now await the winner of the second semi-final of the day, which sees a rematch of last year's final.
Derry's Glen once again face Dublin's Kilmacud Crokes in the game which threw in at Pairc Esler at 3.45pm.
