Errigal Ciaran will face Dungannon in next weekend’s Tyrone SFC semi-finals after they grinded out a late 0-12 to 0-11 victory over Dromore yesterday evening in Carrickmore.

Eoin Kelly’s late point proved the difference for the winners in this one as the midfielder struck in the dying minutes to break Dromore hearts and secure his side’s passage through to the last four.

It was Dromore that led by 0-6 to 0-4 at half-time, with Emmett McNabb (45), Sean McDonnell (2 frees) and Cahir Goodwin landing the scores that saw them finish out the first-half in style.

Harte (free) and Mark Kavanagh levelled within three minutes of the restart however and from there it was tit for that, with Dromore getting their noses back in front on the hour mark when Ronan McNabb broke through to raise the white flag.

A 13-metre free from Harte squared the side two minutes later and there’d be more late drama when Kelly popped up with the final score to seal his team’s place in the semis next weekend.

In Edendork, Dungannon, Thomas Clarke's performed late heroics against Ardboe to book their semi-final slot with a 0-23 to 2-15 extra time win.

Arboe looked home and hosed in the closing stages of normal time, but a couple of Paul Donaghy points made sure there’d be 20 more minutes to play.

Kyle Coney steered Ardboe back into the lead and had them three up at one stage before Donaghy, Patrick Quinn and Kevin Barker shot the scores at the other end that ensured Dungannon their last four berth.
