Derry 1-16 Donegal 1-14: Oak Leaf County win first Ulster Football ... (Sky Sports)

Derry are Ulster champions for the first time since 1998, after defeating Donegal 1-16 to 1-14 after extra-time.

Donegal were looking to land a blow after the restart, and did just that within 30 seconds. The breakthrough eventually came with a Niall Loughlin goal. Both teams appeared nervous when Sean Hurson restarted the contest, reluctant to take risks or low percentage shots. Derry have ended a 24-year wait for an Ulster Senior Football Championship title, with a 1-16 to 1-14 victory over Donegal after extra-time. Although it was not a classic final, it will not matter to Rory Gallagher and Co who move into the All-Ireland quarter-final. Derry are Ulster champions for the first time since 1998, after defeating Donegal 1-16 to 1-14 after extra-time.

The ball broke out wide, Derry players infused with an adrenaline shot as they chased up the field only to hear the three late, sweet peeps of referee Sean Hurson’s whistle.

The sides traded blows and Derry had it back to 0-16 playing 3-08 as the clock ticked into injury time. Sean Hughes replied with a free of his own but successive scores from Cahir Spiers, Higgins (f), Murphy and Shea Birt saw Derry right back in it at 0-10 to 2-04 with 37 minutes played. A placed ball from Tyrone's Noah Grimes broke the sequence to secure Tyrone their four point half-time lead but Derry were far from out of it. Luckily for Tyrone, Molloy was in the right place at the right time to fire home from close range and give his side a 2-03 to 0-3 lead with 18 minutes gone. It was cancelled out by McElholm's first first of excellence minutes later only for Ciaran Chambers to edge Derry back in front again. Tied at two points apiece, a flowing Red Hand move saw the ball moved between the hands of Callum Daly, Barry McMenamin, Molloy and eventually find it's way to McElholm.

Has Gallagher's Derry won the last 'real' Ulster final? (Irish Examiner)

A weekend of provincial football finals produced a lot more talking points that excitement - with apologies to Sunday's deciders.

"It's one of those systems that's really difficult to break down," said Bohan. "It'll be interesting to see how you report on it because, as I said, last week, I think the game is at a stage where it needs to be reported on, for an accurate description to be given of what the game is about." Hence the game of chess. Given the revolving door that has been in operation in the county, he will have his work cut out to keep his 2022 panel in place for next season. "Our goal is to just see where we're going now in terms of player availability and that stuff," said Power of the months ahead. They became the darlings of Irish sport with last year's All-Ireland breakthrough, at Dublin's expense, but are the Meath ladies in danger of becoming a hard team to love? It would seem to be a long time in a tight schedule but it's a case for us of making it as productive as possible." No wonder Jack is looking forward to the draw for the final round of Qualifiers… It's the old chestnut of feeling like there isn't really much of a reward for winning the provincial title when all your energy and momentum could be sapped by the long delay to the All-Ireland series. It will not provoke a crowd of thousands to storm a pitch and set off flares in a welter of pure excitement. Certainly in my mind, I wanted these lads to win it and will next years’ mean the same? He dropped off the panel and left the reservation. And since 2011, he has been involved in seven Ulster finals as part of management teams.
