Kilcoo cruised into another Ulster club senior football championship final with a 4-12 to 1-10 win over Erne Gaels Belleek at the Box-It Athletic Grounds this afternoon.

Two goals in each half helped the 23-time Down champions to reach a fifth Seamus McFerran Cup decider in six years where they now await the winners of tomorrow’s other semi-final between Scotstown of Monaghan and Derry's Newbridge (3.30pm).

It took the Magpies three minutes to find the net against their Fermanagh counterparts in this one, with Paul Devlin hammering in a powerful finish, and they’d raise the umpire's green again through Eugene Branagan to move towards a 2-4 to 0-7 interval lead.

Callum Rodgers and Ceilum Doherty added points after the change of ends for the would-be winners and they’d send the Gaels 10 points adrift once Shealan Johnston bagged their third major.

Doherty supplied Kilcoo’s fourth goal in the 54th minute, with Seamus Ryder grabbing a consolation one for Belleek who now see manager Declan Bonner depart as he gets set to steer Fermanagh's ship for the 2026 season.
