'We've written our own history' - Errigal rejoice in Ulster success

Errigal Ciaran matchwinner Peter Og McCartan said they have "written their own history" after he kicked a dramatic late point to land a third-ever Ulster Senior Club Football title.

In a tense encounter with Kilcoo, McCartan produced a moment of class to kick from distance and seal a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals where they will meet Dr Crokes.

The Tyrone club went 22 years without an Ulster crown with the full-time whistle bringing jubiliant scenes.

Speaking to RTÉ Sport, McCartan said: "It's unbelievable. I can't believe I even kicked that over there at the end, but it means everything. To get over the line, with a one-point victory in an Ulster final, it's unbelievable.

"It has been 22 years. It's mad it took us that long to get back here, but we've written our own history here.

"Teams of the past. Everyone talks about Errigal with great pedigree and history. Now this team has finally shut up the critics and we've got over the line there and written our own history.

"We'll enjoy the next couple of weeks and we'll see where it goes from there. Obviously, once the celebration is over, we'll get the head down and we'll get back in it and learn semi-final to look forward to."

McCartan scored three points in the match but played down the skill of the all-important score at the end.

"I saw myself in space and I knew if the ball got to me that I was going to have a dig at it.

"Luckily, I caught it lovely and it went over. It's just pure luck, to be honest."

Goalscorer Joe Oguz was also inspired by those who had come before – as well as near misses in the past.

"This is just magical. The stories that you've heard in previous years of our Errigal teams winning Ulster. We can only make our own history today, but here this is so
