“It’s new ground for our whole team. A lot of us weren’t even born in 2002 when we won it last time,” said man of the match Canavan.

His manager Enda McGinley praised the “character” of his team who secured victory after “not playing well in the first half”.

“Getting through the preliminary round, getting through the Tyrone Championship and reaching an Ulster club final is a huge thing for the boys but like I told them… there’s no point putting in so much work and then being happy with the results. finalists.”
