Salthill-Knocknacarra booked their place in the Connacht club senior football final after edging St Brigid’s 0-14 to 1-10 in a dramatic semi-final at Pearse Stadium.

Mark Mannion’s sensational injury-time two-pointer put the Galway champions in front before Ruairí Lavelle produced a brilliant last-gasp save to deny St Brigid’s a winning goal.

Lavelle recovered from an earlier kickout error that led to Conor Hand’s first-half goal, making a crucial intervention to keep his side’s provincial hopes alive.

John Maher impressed throughout at midfield, while Rob Finnerty contributed four points as Salthill battled their way past the Roscommon champions, dethroning them of their Connacht crown in the process.

St Brigid’s had two late opportunities to snatch victory, with Charlie O’Carroll firing wide before Conor Carroll’s two-point free struck the post and Paul McGrath’s rebound was brilliantly saved.

Finian Hanley’s side will now face Castlebar Mitchels in the Connacht final on November 29th after securing another dramatic victory at Pearse Stadium.
