Enda McGinley admitted that Errigal Ciaran’s Ulster club SFC semi-final victory over Clann Éireann won’t go down as a classic.

Not that he was complaining, though, after a nine-point haul from Ruairi Canavan, including a brilliant injury-time winner, sent the Tyrone kingpins into their first provincial final in 22 years against perennial contenders Kilcoo.

“If winning ugly is a good habit, I think we’re addicted to it at this stage, so it would be lovely to put in a really good performance,” the winning manager told the assembled media at Páirc Esler afterwards.

“Now, we sailed close to the wind, there was a couple, at least one cleared off the line, absolutely. Again, there’s no point in us varnishing this win, there’s nothing really there to varnish, but the only thing was, we’re in the final, so we can go and try and sort it out for then.

“It was a day for Clann Eireann that nothing went for them really and we have to be realistic about that.”
