Errigal Ciaran beat 14-man Kilcoo in dramatic finish to win Ulster title

Date:

Peter Og McCartan kicked a dramatic late winner as Errigal Ciaran beat Kilcoo 1-8 to 0-10 to claim their first Ulster Senior Club Football title since 2002.

The sides were level seven times in a tight and tense encounter at the Athletic Grounds with Kilcoo reduced to 14 men midway through the second half after Darryl Branagan shown a straight red card.

The Tyrone side will now meet Munster champions Dr Crokes Kerry in the All-Ireland semi-final in the first week of January.

Joe Oguz’s early goal gave Errigal Ciaran a dream start, and while Brangan’s dismissal was a blow for Kilcoo, the Magpies held on until McCartan’s decisive long-range score in injury time.
