Danske Bank MacRory Cup Final 2019

St.Michael’s Enniskillen 0-16

Omagh CBS 2-6

From Odhrán Crumley in Armagh

St.Michael’s Enniskillen have claimed the Danske Bank MacRory Cup for the first time since 2012 with a four point win over Omagh CBS in Armagh.

Man of the match, Darragh McBrien kicked seven points over the course of the hour in a spectacular performance, as the margin of victory did not wholly emphasise his sides dominance.

The Ernesiders led 0-11 to 0-3 at the break courtesy of five first half scores from the aforementioned O’Brien. Things could have been a lot worse for the Tyrone men as Michael Glynn slipped to send a 13^th minute penalty over the bar.

Despite such a resounding lead at the break, the Fermanagh representatives had to effectively ‘win’ the game twice as Omagh launched a resurgent comeback.

Daniel Fullerton hammered home a 43^rd minute penalty to kickstart the CBS response as a huge score from Cormac McBride added further belief.

Substitute Sean McDonagh hit 1-3 without reply as the gap was reduced to two.

However, the champions elect would finish strongest with Conor Love pointing before a brace from McBrien sealed the title.
