Errigal Ciaran reached their first Tyrone SFC final in six years with a 1-7 to 0-9 beat Carrickmore at Plunkett Park, but champions Dromore are facing a semi-final replay with outsiders Killyclogher.

Tyrone senior football manager Mickey Harte is set to remain in the role until 2012, following the confirmation of a two-year extension for the Errigal Ciaran clubman.

THE Offaly county board will meet for discussions with the senior footballers if requested to do so by mediator Eugene McGee, PRO Pat Teehan insisted yesterday.
