CAVAN claimed their first Ulster U21 FC title since 1996 last night after Gearoid McKiernan inspired them to a deserved win at Brewster Park.

IT took almost four hours of energy-sapping action to separate them, but Tyrone finally triumphed to qualify for the Ulster U21 Football Championship semi-finals.

TYRONE and Down will meet for a third time on Saturday after their Ulster U21FC quarter-final replay finished level after extra-time at Healy Park last night.
