  1. 'The team deserves credit' says McGinleypublished at 17:19 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2024

    Kilcoo 0-10 Errigal Ciaran 1-8

    Errigal Ciaran manager Enda McGinley on TG4: "I feel very humble to manage those boys".

    "They have shown repeatedly this year a work-rate and a heart, and our game is still about heart and character, and they have captured something very special deep inside themselves and the supporters are so proud of them.

    "We have had the rub of the green but our team has quality about it too and I think with a Tyrone championship and an Ulster title under our belts, the team deserves credit today.

    "A lot is made of our star names but repeatedly we have got key scores from our other players.

    "There has been other games this year like that (with Canavan brothers well held) and we knew if we could be disciplined at the back and we had enough spread of scores throughout the team to get over the line."

    Errigal Ciaran captain Darragh Canavan lifts the trophy and tells the crowd: "It's been 22 years since an Errigal team lifted this Cup and it feels good to do it again."

    "Thank you boys and thanks to our supporters, we are going to enjoy this tonight with you.

    "It's 31 years since this Cup first came to Errigal - it's time to take it home!"

    Errigal manager Enda McGinley joked that his side are addicted to winning ugly this year, but yet again they have come up with the goods when the game is in the fire.

    Knowing how to come up with big scores in clutch moments is a lovely, lovely habit to get into and Errigal have certainly done that in Ulster to win tight games against St Eunan's, Clann Eireann and now Kilcoo.

    Darragh Canavan is climbing the steps now to accept the Seamus McFerran Cup on behalf of Errigal Ciaran as their 22-year wait is over.

    FT: Kilcoo 0-10 Errigal Ciaran 1-8

    Errigal Ciaran matchwinner Peter Og McCartan speaking to TG4:

    "Means everything, means the world. I've dreamed of this since I was a young kid. It was a tough battle. It was a cagey affair. We knew we had it in the legs, going in with the breeze, it was a titanic battle.

    "I'm just over the moon. I wouldn't be renowned for my scoring, it's not often I kick those types of points but I'm over the moon. I got the ball in hands and thought 'I'm going for this'. It caught the right part of my foot."

  6. It's all over - Errigal are champions!published at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2024

    Kilcoo 0-10 Errigal Ciaran 1-8

    Errigal win their third Ulster club title and a first in 22 years!

    They scored an injury-time point to snatch a semi-final win over Clann Eireann and they've done it again to return to the winners' enclosure.

    The Kilcoo players collapse to the ground. They played their part in a thrilling second half. The game could have gone either way and if Eugene Branagan's late effort had landed inside the far post, it could be the Magpies celebrating right now.

    Kilcoo 0-10 Errigal Ciaran 1-8

    Peter Og McCartan lands a stunner!

    From out wide he lands his second special point of the night.

    With the Canavan boys well held Errigal needed someone else to step up and Peter Og McCartan is that man.

    Kilcoo 0-10 Errigal Ciaran 1-7

    Tommy Canavan's shot goes wide after a superb catch by Oguz.

    It's frantic stuff.

    Kilcoo 0-10 Errigal Ciaran 1-7

    Eugene Branagan battled hard but his shot at glory drifts narrowly wide of the far post.

    We have four minutes of injury time to come.

    Level for the seventh time as Tommy Canavan lands a vital free after McCartan is fouled.

    All to play for now with less than two minutes plus stoppage time to go.

    It's no-nonsense stuff from Kilcoo and Anthony Morgan finishes off that move to nudge them back in front.

    So what was I just saying???

    That's exactly what Peter Og McCartan thought too, because he's just nailed a special score from distance off the outside of his right boot. The Errigal crowd absolutely loved that one.

    Kilcoo 0-9 Errigal Ciaran 1-5

    That was a poor miss by Odhran Robinson.

    With the Canavans and Peter Harte being double-marked at times, Errigal need the supporting cast to step up. That was a bad wide.

    Kilcoo 0-9 Errigal Ciaran 1-5

    The game has really opened up now with lung-bursting runs and the pace has gone through the roof.

    Peter Harte is bottled up at one end and Kilcoo break with a counter attack and Paul Devlin finishes from distance. Classic Kilcoo.

    And guess who is on?

    Down manager Conor Laverty is on for the final 10 minutes to try to help steer Kilcoo over the line.

    Kilcoo joint captain Darryl Branagan is given a straight red card for an elbow in the direction of Odhran Robinson's face.

    Niall Kane comes up to take a '45' but it drifts narrowly wide of the left post.

    Jerome Johnston is yellow-carded for something that must have happened off the ball.

    Eugene Branagan is such an inspirational presence in this Kilcoo side.

    Black socks up to his knees, just the way he likes them, and he lands a great point from a narrow angle over on the right.

    Kilcoo 0-6 Errigal Ciaran 1-4

    Ryan Johnston is in the wars and at the end of a bad-tempered phase of play, Johnston and Tommy Canavan are both booked.

    Be prepared for plenty more exchanges like that in this second half.
