Darren Hughes stars as Scotstown bridge 26-year Ulster final gap

Scotstown (Monaghan) 2-9 Trillick (Tyrone) 2-7: Darren Hughes fired Scotstown into their first Ulster Club SFC final since 1989 with a two-goal salvo at Brewster Park.

The Monaghan man hit the net in both halves to send the Farney champions on their way to a meeting with Crossmaglen in the decider on Sunday week.

But they had to work hard in difficult conditions to fend off the courageous challenge of a Trillick side that just won promotion to senior football at the end of last season.
