Easkey win rowsing Sligo hurling final

Easkey were crowned Sligo senior hurling champions for 2020 on Sunday when they edged past holders Naomh Eoin by a single point in a rousing county final at Markievicz Park.

The sea blues eventually won by 1-17 to 2-13 with substitute Thomás Cawley's point from near the sideline in the dying moments proving to be the matchwinner.

It's the club's first Sligo senior hurling title since 1963.

Naomh Eoin led by four points at half-time (2-8 to 1-7) but Easkey were never far away - and their determination would see them eventually win by one.
