Very disappointing result last night, but we could have no complaints. We just didn't perform anywhere near our best and you couldn't expect to win a provincial semi playing like that. Glenties came out flying out of the blocks and took some nice scores. And once we went 6-1 down to a team as defensively organised as they are, it was always going to be a uphill battle. They were just up to the pitch of the game straight away, and didn't let that drop for the full game. Very impressive effort.

It's just disappointing after we had two big wins against teams like Scotstown and Cross, that we didn't carry that level of performance forward, but the truth is we weren't let. A few lads upped their game in the 2nd half and took the game to Glenties, but at that stage it was too little, too late. Alot of lads didn't do themselves justice last night compared to how they've performed before, alot of sloppy mistakes and giving the ball away in attack( especially in the second half), but again you'd have to credit the Glenties defence there.

Truth is, at the end of last season, being within a game of the Ulster final seemed miles off. A county title was great success for us this year, and the many young lads in the team will be all the better for it going forward, but it was an open Ulster club, and Glenties came out and took their chance. They have a good shot in the final, very organized and awful tough to play against.

Dungannon lost to St Enda's on penalties. Feckin' penalties In an Ulster final. Disgraceful.

Glenties are a horrible team to play against very well organised and will be very hard to beat. If its them and Kilcoo in the final it will be an absolute slugfest.

Looking a fair possibility with Kilcoo playing into the 'scoring end' in the second. Watching last night and now if Kilcoo win can they ban cameras from the final and just post the result.

Feels alright for St Enda's though
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

An interesting enough final quarter. Just mass and a few sheep in Kilcoo. Won't put it past Mickey Moran leading his team to yet another provincial title.

Only saw the clip once but was there a serious amount of steps for the kilcoo goal?

Thought that myself. There was a hop at the start but reckon he took 6/7 steps. But, like you, only saw it once.

Yeah.  Refs need to clamp down on the steps run.

Either that or make the rule offically 6 steps...which everybody does anyway.
