Watch the scenes as Roscommon superfan Paddy Joe Burke celebrates with the Nestor Cup

One of the first ports of call for Roscommon after winning the Connacht Championship was to a die-hard fan.

The Rossies made a thrilling second half comeback to see off Galway in the final last weekend and win their second Connacht title in three years.

And Kevin McStay's men made sure that superfan Paddy Joe Burke was part of the celebrations.

The Nestor Cup was brought to Paddy Joe's barbershop in Roscommon town and the delighted supporter held it aloft.

Well-known local Paddy Joe said: "We beat the National League champions, we beat the Connacht champions and we are now the Connacht champions.

"We're in the Super 8s, we have hope in our hearts, the famous jersey on our backs and the best is yet to come for the Rossies."
