TYRONE SFC Semi-Finals Dromore 2-11 Ardboe 0-8: TYRONE CHAMPIONS Dromore cruised through to the final at Healy Park last night. Two Eoin McCusker goals crushed the challenge of Ardboe to set up a meeting with Clonoe next week.
Ardboe opened up with a couple of Frank McGuigan points but the champions found their rhythm as Colm McCullagh hit three frees. It wasn't until the 18th minute, however, that Dromore had their first point from play, from Shaun O'Neill, who added a second five minutes later. In 28th minute McCusker finished low to the net and Dromore led by 1-6 to 0-5 at the break. McCusker poached a second goal eight minutes into the second half.
