The absence of expectant father Aidan McCrory presented Ciaran Quinn with an unexpected opportunity, and he stepped in with a towering defensive performance to help Errigal Ciaran to a first Tyrone SFC title in ten years.

Quinn’s late call-up to the starting 15 proved to be an inspired move after news came through that full back and former Tyrone defender McCrory would miss the county final after his wife went into labour on the morning of the match.
