Tipperary goalkeeper Brendan Cummins won the M. Donnelly GAA All-Ireland Poc Fada final for the seventh time in his career on Saturday.
His victory in the Cooley Mountains means he joins Cork legend Ger Cunningham at the top of the roll of honour on seven titles. Cunningham won his seven titles all in a row, from 1984-1990. Cummins' previous six titles came in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012.
Cummins took the title with a total of 51 pucks. Down's Graham Clarke finished second on 55 pucks and Galway goalkeeper James Skehill was third with 57 pucks.
Patricia Jackman (Waterford) won in the camogie section, while Galway's Jack Coyne took the U16 prize.
