This club championship has been the real year of the underdogs.

Errigal Ciaran 1-08 Kilcoo 0-10. Fine winner in the 4th minute of added time
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

There you go Tyrone club championship the most competitive in the land. Relegated team Clonoe very near bate Errigal, lost in a replay... Typical Kilcoo cynicism lost them that ..

Kilcoo pretty much took EC's big 3 players out of the game. Some effort by the rest of them to get over the line.

Not even the staunchest Magpie could argue the red card either.

Eugene Brannigan had some game.

Big score to win it when it looked like they'd missed their chance. Sqaure ball goal becomes a big talking point but EC won't care at all. Too many of Kilcoo's players didn't get to the level of their semi final. Big shoutout to doherty and niall brannigan who marked Darragh and Ruairi completely out of the game. EC had to find their scores from elsewhere

Ha. Tyrone championship not near the level of the Dublin championship.

Joe Oguz bossed midfield. Kilcoo battled well when down to 14 but ultimately fell short.

I don't get the hate for Kilcoo when EC are every bit as bad. Kilcoo is like a wee Tyrone enclave nestled in the Mournes

I'd expect Errigal to beat Dr. Crokes.

Errigal deserved that. They stood up when it mattered, and the sending off (the correct decision) just tipped the balance in their favour. Fair play EC.

To answer my own question, yes! Even the manner of their first round Ulster win one felt their name was already on the trophy.

What's stopping them from winning the All-Ireland now? No stand out team left in the championship.

Based on both performances today you'd have to fancy them alright.

Eugene Brannigan had some game.

He was great but he'd probably want that chance towards the end back again. Should have been sticking it over the bar first day given the situation.

Lacey evidently doesn't trust the bench enough. Jerome Johnston should have been hooked much earlier, Shealan lost the plot a bit in the second half.

Kilcoo will be kicking themselves after that. More football, more running in them today. Good enough for a horrible shower. If Brannigan could have resisted the in-built genetic urge to be a **** for just a little bit longer they'd have won.

Just a silly action by Daryl Brannigan. For me looking at replay, ref had no choice. It was the losing of the game.

Jerome Johnston should have put it over instead of giving it back to him and getting him bottled up. I'm no fan of Eugene but he busted his balls off all day and in that particular party he started it off on the far right hand side beyond the 45. Gave it to Johnston on a silver plate and won't have thanked him for it coming back to him. By the time it was recycled to him again for the missed shot he must have been banjaxed.

Thought ref was harsh on Kilcoo.
Didn't see replay of red card, but thought it was a yellow in real time.
And the equalising free for Errigal was very soft - he had ballooned it wide before there was any contact
