Carrickmore have given the green light to their Tyrone SFC final against Omagh St. Enda's being staged at Healy Park on Sunday, September 28.

It means that St. Enda's will have home advantage for the showpiece game. However, Carmen aren't fazed about taking on St. Enda's on their home patch, having beaten them in the 2005 final, which was also played at Healy Park.

"It wouldn't be a major gripe with us," Carrickmore chairman Turlough McGarrity said in the Irish News.

"Omagh are going to be a bit more familiar with the ground than us, but we have played on it a good few times in league and championship football."

The 15-times O'Neill Cup holders booked their place in the final thanks to a 2-7 to 0-11 victory over Ardboe last Sunday, while Jason McAnulla's injury-time goal handed 14-man Omagh a dramatic 1-7 to 0-9 victory over Dromore in the other semi-final.
