An epic in Ulster 

At the end of an epic game, the air around the pitch in the Athletic Grounds was suffused with green and yellow smoke. The first flare was lit in the terraced stand after Ethan Doherty’s point sailed over the bar with five minutes remaining to push Glen two ahead, but the final whistle triggered such an eruption that the pitch was thick from smoke pluming from flares like factory chimneys.
