Tyrone minor Brian McGuigan hit a late equaliser for Ardboe at Pomeroy yesterday to set up a replay at Corrigan Park, Belfast, next Sunday. The Tyrone champions will count themselves lucky to have escaped, for seconds earlier St John's substitute Collie McKnight thought he had grabbed the winner, but his effort curled away at the last moment and came back off a post.
