Provincial club IFC and JFC round-up as Denn crowned Ulster champions

Denn's Tomas Corr celebrates with the Ulster club JFC trophy.

Denn, Daniel O'Connell's became the second Cavan team to win the Ulster club junior football championship title - beating 14-man Downings of Donegal 3-8 to 0-10 in today's final at St Tiernach's Park.

Sean Donohoe's goal left the Crosskeys men, captained by Bernard Gaffney, level at half-time, 1-2 to 0-5, and they dominated on the resumption as James Brady and Mark McSherry raised further green flags after Downings lost centre-forward Danny McBride to a second yellow card.

With Kerry stars Jack Barry and Stefan Okunbor teaming up in midfield, Na Gaeil struggled to shake off Drom-Inch (Tipperary) in the Munster club IFC semi-final at Templemore where it finished 1-10 to 0-9. 

The Tralee club will face Corofin next after the Clare outfit pulled off an impressive 1-14 to 0-11 victory over 14-man Newmarket (Cork) at Mallow.

In the Leinster club JFC semi-final, Offaly intermediate champions Clonbullogue had too much firepower for O'Loughlin Gaels of Kilkenny at Freshford – winning 3-16 to 0-6
