Glen won their first Ulster club SFC title with a committed and ferocious display of intensity to end Kilcoo’s reign as Ulster and All-Ireland senior football champions.

In their first provincial final, Glen led a brilliant contest from start to finish but the Derry champions had to withstand a strong fightback from Kilcoo before lifting the Seamus McFerran in front an ecstatic crowd in the Athletic Grounds.

Kilcoo struggled to contain Glen’s pace and energy in the first half, particularly the first quarter when the Derry challengers raced into a 0-5 to 0-0 lead after 11 minutes.

Glen owned the Kilcoo kickout at that stage. Points flowed over from Conor Glass, man-of-the-match Conleith McGuckian and Jack Doherty in a breathtaking opening to a gripping game.
