Colleges GAA: A superb second-half display of points scoring earned St Louis, Kilkeel, a draw in yesterday's exciting and entertaining MacRory Cup final at Casement Park.

Omagh dominated the first half with a 13th-minute penalty by their captain Ronan McRory launching them into a 1-5 to 0-4 interval lead.

It was a different story in the second period. After Stephen Donaghy shot Omagh into what looked like a commanding 2-5 to 0-5 advantage Kilkeel hit back.

Kilkeel rifled over five unanswered points and with the sides level at 2-6 to 0-12 Conor O'Donnell restored the Omagh lead. But another brilliant score from 50 metres by James Colgan tied the action for the last time.
