Crossmaglen regain composure and power to Ulster glory again

Crossmaglen 3-10 Kilcoo 1-8

With just 18 minutes played, they held an 11-point lead and were well on track to register the most convincing margin in the history of this decider but the record set by Lavey of Derry in their 12-point battering of Cavan’s Kingscourt back in 1990 was safe long before the finish.

Half-a-dozen points still separated Cross and Kilcoo at the end but the gap had shrunk to just a goal 10minutes into the second-half after a sequence which saw the underdogs outscore the perennial giants of the club game by 1-5 to 0-1.
