Dermot Lyons will take charge of his second senior football championship final on Sunday week when St. Brigid's meet Pádraig Pearses at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park.
The Castlerea St. Kevin’s official refereed his first top-flight decider in 2024 when Pádraig Pearses defeated Roscommon Gaels.

Dermot’s team of officials will include Brendan Healy, Brendan Beirne, and fourth official, Tony Brennan.
Throughout the season, his loyal band of umpires have included Paddy Duignan, Noel Curran, Marty Connelly, Barry O’Regan, Padraig Gunning and Mickey Freyne.
Dermot is a former Castlerea St. Kevin’s player where he won three senior football championship with the West Roscommon club.
