At Croke Park this evening, Mayo won hurling's third-tier competition, the Nicky Rackard Cup, with a four point win over Armagh.

It was their first ever Nicky Rackard Cup title.

Kenny Feeney was the hero for Mayo, scoring 1-9, 1-3 of that came from play.

Scores were level late in the game, but then Mayo hit four unanswered points to claim victory.

Lining out at centre-forward for Mayo was a man who has long been a dual star for the county - Keith Higgins. Last weekend, Higgins lined out at corner back for the Mayo footballers as they beat London in their opening game of the Connacht Championship.

Higgins has featured in all of Mayo's Nicky Rackard Cup games this season. They beat Tyrone, today's opponents Armagh and Donegal on their way to the final.

Mayo will now play Derry as they seek promotion to the Christy Ring Cup for the 2017 season.
