That was some end to the half from the holders.

What a brilliant piece of composure from late addition Daryl Branagan, who calmly tucked his shot past Jonathan McGurn.

Paul Devlin followed that up with a fine effort from play and, all of a sudden, it's looking like an almighty challenge for the first-time finalists.

You wouldn't know it, though. Their fans have been in tremendous voice all afternoon.

What a nightmare couple of minutes for Derrygonnelly. Paul Devlin has just slotted another Kilcoo point seconds before the half-time break as the holders go in six up at the interval. Given Kilcoo's experience at this level, it's hard to see them squandering that kind of half-time advantage.

Ryan Jones hit Derrygonnelly's point with a beauty from a tight angle and he has just fired over another beauty from distance after a clever exchange of passes following his own quick free.

Tactically the game is playing out as you would expect so far. Both teams have virtually everybody back in their own half when they don't have the ball. Then it all becomes about the turnover and the break at pace.

Conall Jones looked to have cut Kilcoo's lead but his point attempt after a quick free comes back off the crossbar and the holders are able to gather possession.

After Derrygonnelly concede a rather unnecessary free 40 metres out when Kilcoo weren't looking particularly threatening, keeper Niall Kane arrows the placed ball over the bar to give the Down champions a two-point advantage.

We gave Ryan Jones' opening score top marks so here it for you to judge yourselves.

Kilcoo have dominated possession but have been guilty of missing a few very scoreable opportunities.

Derrygonnelly can be heartened by the fact they're only one behind at the first water break.

Ryan McEvoy gets Kilcoo on terms with a free before a superb Miceal Rooney score puts the holders ahead.

Before the throw-in, we had a minute's silence to pay respects to Ashling Murphy after the terrible event in Tullamore this week which caused shock in Ireland and beyond.

After Conall Jones' miss, his brother Ryan shows him the way to score by floating over an absolute beauty from a tight angle out on the right. Derrygonnelly ahead.

The action has begun in Armagh. Kilcoo won possession from the throw-in but then lost it as they made their way towards the Derrygonnelly 21 but from the turnover Conall Jones then fired a disappointing wide at the other end.

"What about football?"

"Football's the last thing on your mind, son. Do you intend to walk freely and enjoy the rest of your life?'

From teaching P7's to touring the country in a folk band, BBC Sport NI caught up with two of Derrygonnelly's players ahead of the Ulster Club Senior football final against Kilcoo on Sunday.

Great to see the Ulster club decider back after a two-year absence.

There's a real buzz about the place, too, and there's barely a head of hair in sight.

Everyone's been smart and wrapped up warm with hats, gloves and scarves.

I'm not wearing my hat yet, but I reckon that'll change very soon.

As we said a minute ago, the entire Derrygonnelly community have getting involved in the build-up to this big game.

Having already reached a couple of Ulster Club finals, the build-up has appeared understandably more low key in Kilcoo but it's safe to assume there has also been an exodus from the village in the heart of the Mournes this morning towards Armagh.
