Kilcoo 'happy' to make Ulster final - Corey

Kilcoo manager Martin Corey says his side are "happy" to be in the Ulster Club football final after their 4-12 to 1-10 victory over Erne Gaels at the Athletic Stadium.

Paul Devlin and Eugene Branagan found the net in the first period before Shealan Johnston and Ceilum Doherty scored goals after the restart.

The Fermanagh side couldn't spark a late comeback after two two-pointed efforts from Ryan Lyons and a late goal from Seamus Ryder and ended up finishing with 14 players after Shane Rooney was sent-off in second-half injury time.

"Happy to be there," Corey replied when asked how it felt for Kilcoo to make their fifth Ulster Club football fine in six years.

"Our objective coming here today was to try and win the game and get back into the last two.

"We didn't plan to play the way we did, particularly in the first half but it is something to work on for the next day."

Corey's side will either face Derry champions Newbridge or Monaghan champions Scotstown in the final with those two sides playing on Sunday, November 23, in Omagh.

Kilcoo were last year's runners up but will be hoping to lift the trophy after this year's final which will take place on the weekend of 6-7 December.

"We will go to the game and watch it [the second semi-final]," Corey continued.

"It is two very good teams and both teams will be chasing silverware, so we need to do the work next week, try to get the bodies recovered and get ready."
