The St Endas enjoyed the perfect start to the game with Cormac O’Neill finding the net after only four minutes but by the end of the opening quarter the County champions had their noses in front with Daryl Magee notching a major.

Cathal McCarron and Declan McClure traded points as Clonoe greeted the short whistle 1-6 to 1-4 in front. McClure and defender Dwayne Quinn added to that lead in the opening moments of the second period and, while Omagh responded through Jason McAnulla, it was the O’Rahillys who had the momentum.
