Carrickmore and Omagh St. Enda's will contest the O'Neill Cup decider following their respective semi-final wins over Ardboe and Dromore yesterday.

It will be a repeat of the 2005 final which Carmen won. They got off to a great start in last night's game at Pomeroy when two early Martin Penrose frees were followed by a Paul McAleer goal. Ardboe responded with points from Michael Cassidy and Kyle Coney to trail by 0-6 to 2-2 at the break.

However, the loss of Shay McGuigan to a second yellow card 10 minutes into the second half proved a major setback to Ardboe as Carirckmore held on for a 2-7 to 0-11 win.

In the other semi-final, Jason McAnulla's injury-time goal handed 14-man Omagh a dramatic 1-7 to 0-9 victory over Dromore.

The county town side, who had Ronan O'Neill sent off, looked to be facing defeat when Dromore took a two-point lead late on thanks to scores from Emmet O'Neill and Ruairi Sludden, but they snatched victory when McAnualla rose highest to fist home Barry Tierney's centre in the second minute of stoppage-time.
