Tyrone's Pomeroy picked up the Ulster Club IFC silverware following an impressive 2-16 to 0-10 final victory over Donaghmoyne of Monaghan in Pairc Esler today.

Christopher Colhoun's 16th minute goal separated the sides at the half-time interval -1-5 to 0-5 - and the Red Hand representatives - managed by Mark Harte - outscored their opponents by 1-11 to 0-5 in the second-half.

Frank Burns applied the gloss to their victory when netting their second goal with six minutes left on the clock.

It was a good day for Tyrone clubs in Newry as Pomeroy's success followed hot on the heels of Rock's 1-12 to 0-14 junior final win over Blackhill.
