Dungannon’s late rally at O’Neill Park just came up short as Dromore won by the minimum margin to book their place in the last four.

Emmet O’Neill and Niall Sludden had early second half points for the visitors before a 40^th minute goal from another Hogan Cup winner Paudie Dillon left Dromore well in control. McNulty and Oran Sludden traded points with Donaghy and Finn Spence before Donaghy found the net in the 51^st minute. Niall Sludden had another brace and while Donaghy got a second goal deep into injury time to take his personal haul to 2-8 it wasn’t enough.

Clonoe played host to Errigal Ciaran and they secured a comprehensive victory against the understrength visitors at O’Rahilly Park.

With Rory Brennan to the fore in midfield Trillick increased their advantage in the second half with points from Lee Brennan, Niall Donnelly and Daniel McDonnell.
