Trillick 1-16

Killyclogher 2-13

(AET, Trillick win 4-3 on penalties)

Reigning champions Trillick beat Killyclogher 4-3 on penalties to advance to the Tyrone SFC semi-finals after a thrilling contest at Healy Park this evening.

The sides were inseparable at the end of normal-time and extra-time so a penalty shoot-out was required to determine who would make it through to the last four.

Trillick, who lost a penalty shoot-out to Derrygonnelly in the Ulster club SFC quarter-final last November, converted four of their five spot kicks before goalkeeper Ryan Kelly saved Niall McFadden's effort to send them through.

Lee Brennan's 78th minute free for Trillick, the only score in the second period of extra-time, ensured that penalties would be needed. Killyclogher were denied victory in normal-time by a late point from Liam Gray.

The scoreboard had read, Trillick 1-14 Killyclogher 2-11, at the end of the regulation 60 minutes.

Both teams exchanged goals in the first half with Killyclogher's Mark Hayes netting before Daniel McDonnell fired home to give Trillick a 1-8 to 1-6 half-time lead.

Killyclogher top scorer Mark Bradley was responsible for his side's second goal at the start of the second half.
