McCartan’s late strike does the trick for Down
It was the deciding factor in yesterday's Bank of Ireland Ulster football semi-final in Clones, with former stars Paddy O'Rourke and Greg Blaney helping to pull the strings on the sideline and two more 'veterans,' Mickey Linden and James McCartan on hand to provide their experience when it mattered.
Yet, Fermanagh's dream of an overdue appearance in the final might very well have been realised but the loss of scoring chances on two separate occasions when they had the initiative.
