GAA county finals best photos as club championships decided
There were joyous scenes across the country as champions were crowned in multiple counties
A busy weekend of county finals came to a conclusion on Monday as Feakle defeated Sixmilebridge in the Clare Senior Hurling Championship decider.
There were emotional scenes as Feakle won their first senior county title in 36 years, which came following a bumper few days of football and hurling finals up and down the country.
Incredibly, both All-Ireland holders failed to get out of their own counties in recent days, with hurling champions St. Thomas losing to Cappataggle in the Galway semi-final, while the next day football champs Glen surrendered their county, provincial and All-Ireland titles, as they lost to Newbridge in the Derry final.

There were joyous scenes across the country as champions were crowned in multiple counties.
Here's a selection of the best photos over the past few days:
