Lavery's goal decisive

Clonoe 1-9 Donaghmore 2-3: CLONOE QUALIFIED for their first Tyrone final since 1991 at Dungannon yesterday, substitute PJ Lavery hitting the decisive goal midway through the second half.

Shane Mulgrew's goal sent Donaghmore in with a 1-2 to 0-4 lead at the break and they hit a second through Daniel Grimes 12 minutes into the second half. But that was their last score. Lavery netted after David Doherty had kept out Ryan O'Neill's shot. Donaghmore's Gary Hetherington was sent off before Clonoe sealed victory with Colm Donnelly's point.
