Glen lead by one.

Can they see it out?

Kilcoo are back out too, and they've made a substitution with Anthony Morgan replacing Dylan Ward.

Here come the Glen players again. Kilcoo are yet to re-emerge...

That was a cracking first half.

Glen stormed into a five-point lead early on before Kilcoo - perhaps inevitably given their pedigree at this level - hit back.

Aaron Branagan's goal put the holders on the board, and while they have kept Glen in their sights, the Down champions missed a massive chance to take the lead with Paul Devlin missing his penalty in first-half stoppage time.

It's impossible to call, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

And breathe.

Glen hold the slimmest of leads as they trot off down the tunnel.

Paul Devlin fails with his kick! His low strike clips the outside of Conlan Bradley's left-hand post and Glen breathe a massive sigh of relief.

What drama at the end of the half.

Penalty to Kilcoo!

Jerome Johnston chases a pass but is barged over Ryan Dougan and referee Joe McQuillan says penalty!

Great chance for Kilcoo to take the lead for the first time this afternoon.

Dylan Ward spins well and rifles a shot with his right boot but it's wide and Kilcoo miss the chance to level the game.

Conor Laverty's kickpass is loose and Glen are able to pick up the pieces.

It's not often a pass from the Down boss doesn't reach its intended target.

Jerome Johnston calls a mark and thumps the ball over the bar.

One-point game again with four minutes of the first half left.

Defender Ryan Dougan finds space among the black and white shirts and opts to fist a score for Glen instead of fashioning a goal-scoring opportunity.

Their lead is back to two.

Kilcoo win the ball back and Darryl Branagan angles over a brilliant right-footed score.

One point in it!

Oh wait, change of plan for Kilcoo as Niall Kane trots up from his goal to take the free.

Well, it wasn't the right move as Kane skews his effort to the right and it's a Glen kick-out.

Chance gone there.

Ryan Johnston wins a free for Kilcoo after being tugged back by Cathal Mulholland.

It'll be Ceilum Doherty to take.

Brilliant Glen pressure leads to a turnover and a shot from Alex Doherty, but it clips the post and Kilcoo are able to clear their lines.

There's an absolutely ferocious pace to this one. Gripping.

Glen win a free and it's a chance for Danny Tallon to edge them back out to a two-point lead.

He makes it! Glen needed that after that 1-1 burst from the holders.

Kilcoo have a free in for Emmett Bradley's foul on Jerome Johnston.

Ryan McEvoy duly slots between the posts, but Kilcoo will play with 14 men for the next 10 minutes as a black card is shown to Paul Devlin for his part in the aftermath of Bradley's foul.

Woah, Jack Doherty splits the posts with another beautifully taken score and Glen stretch their lead out to five.

They've been deadly so far.
