  17. Late changespublished at 17:58 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2024

    Scotstown v Kilcoo (18:00 GMT)

    Changes to both sides ahead of throw-in here at the Athletic Grounds from the teams named in the match programme.

    Scotstown make two changes and there is one huge boost Kieran Hughes will start in place of full-back Sean Treanor but it is highly unlikely Kieran will play inside.

    Francis Maguire replaces Mattie Maguire at right corner forward.

    One change on the Kilcoo team and Jack Devlin takes the place of Paul Devlin at left corner forward.

  18. Kilcoo beat Crosserlough to make semispublished at 17:57 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2024

    Scotstown v Kilcoo (18:00 GMT)

    Pre-match favourites Kilcoo were pushed all the way by Crosserlough but they did just enough to claim a 0-15 to 1-10 win in the Ulster Club SFC quarter-final.

    Crosserlough were left to rue picking up three black cards as well as a late red card in Newry.

    The underdogs got off to a dream start when two of the Smith brothers combined to find the net in the opening five minutes. Peter’s cross-field ball was palmed into the net from close range by James.

    The Magpies built steadily as the half went on and led by a point at the break before winning after a tense second half.

  19. Scotstown ease to quarter-final victorypublished at 17:53 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2024

    Scotstown v Kilcoo (18:00 GMT)

    An imperious display from Scotstown saw them trounce Erne Gaels 0-19 to 0-6 to set-up tonight's clash with Kilcoo.

    Jack McCarron (eight points) and Conor McCarthy (six) led the way for the Monaghan champions at Brewster Park as they made up 0-14 of Scotstown’s tally.

    The Monaghan champions were dominant in the first half as they pressed the Erne Gaels kick-outs with intensity, overturned them time and again and put the result virtually beyond doubt by the half-time whistle.

    The intensity dropped in the second half, with Scotstown managing their lead to the finish line.

  20. Team newspublished at 17:48 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2024

    Scotstown v Kilcoo (18:00 GMT)

    Storm Bert has passed and the Athletic Grounds here in County Armagh has been deemed playable for the meeting of two Ulster senior club veterans as Down champions Kilcoo take on Monaghan winners Scotstown.

    These two met at the quarter-final stage 12 months ago and the game went down to literally the last kick as Scotstown goalkeeper Rory Beggan nailed a late free to seal a one point win for the Farney men.

    Kilcoo reached the last four this year by eventually seeing off Cavan champions Crosserlough while Scotstown were in action just seven days ago, comfortably dispatching Fermanagh winners Erne Gaels.

    Karl Lacey in the Kilcoo dugout is boosted by the return from injury of midfielder Ryan Johnston.

    Scotstown boss David McCague will look to the brilliance of Jack McCarron to inspire his side if they are to make it to back to back finals.

    This one is sure to go right to the wire and if we get any team changes closer to Tyrone referee Sean Hurson throwing the ball in we'll bring them to you.

    Kilcoo: Niall Kane; Niall Branagan, Ryan McEvoy, Callum Rogers; Miceal Rooney, Darryl Branagan, Eugene Branagan; Aaron Morgan, Ryan Johnston; Christopher Rooney, Antony Morgan, Shealan Johnston; Ceilum Doherty, Jerome Johnston, Paul Devlin.

    Scotstown: Rory Beggan; Darragh Murray, Sean Treanor, Jack McDevitt; Ryan O'Toole, Damien McCardle, Conor McCarthy; Micheal McCarville, Gavin McPhillips; Jason Carey, Shane Carey, James Hamill; Mattie Maguire, Darren Hughes, Jack McCarron.
