IT’S CROSS IN ARMAGH

Crossmaglen 0-12 Coalisland 0-10

RIAN and Oisin O’neill scored six points from play in the last quarter to help Crossmaglen win a bad-tempered Ulster club clash against Coalisland.

Both teams ended with 13 men after a dire contest in the Athletic Grounds. Coalisland had two sent off in the first half with defender Eoghan Hampsey getting a straight red (below) and Brian Toner two yellows.

Cross led 0-6 to 0-5 at the break having played poorly and then lost their own discipline with Johnny Hanratty and Callum Cumiskey both picking up second yellows for rash challenges.

But the good stuff from Cross came in the last 15 minutes with brothers Rian (above) and Oisin O’neill kicking six points from play between them in the crucial final quarter. Paddy Mcneice hit 0-8 from frees and Coalisland only managed two points from play but they hung in until Cross’ late rally.
