Neighbours Errigal Ciaran and Carrickmore will contest the Tyrone SFC final following their respective semi-final wins over Dromore and Clonoe.

At Healy Park, the Canavan's were to the fore as Errigal edged out holders Dromore by 0-11 to 0-10 to qualify for their first O'Neill Cup decider since 2019. Brothers Darragh and Ruairi along with their cousion Tommy were all on the scoring sheet as Mark Harte's charges prevailed after leading by 0-8 to 0-5 at half-time. Peter Teague brought it down to the minimum late on, but Ryan McMenamin's champions couldn't regain parity.

In the other semi-final at Pomeroy, teenager Lorcan McGarrity scored 0-6 (0-3 from frees and 0-1 from a mark) as Carrickmore overcame Clonoe by 0-11 to 0-8 to make it back to the final for the first time since 2014.

Captain Rory Donnelly was also excellent as Carmen gained the upperhand in the second half after the sides had gone into the break tied on 0-5 apiece. A Connor McAliskey '45 meant Clonoe trailed by just two points going into injury-time, but Carrickmore weren't to be denied as Donnelly set up McGarrity for the insurance point.
