Ballygalget through to Ulster Final

---

Down kingpins Ballygalget progressed to the Ulster senior club hurling championship final after eventually easing past Armagh champs Lamh Dhearg. The final is fixed for this Sunday in Casement Park at 3.30 p.m. - against Atrim champions Cusendall.

In the semi-final at Casement Park on Sunday October 12, the Keady men gave a decent account of themselves but it was John Mitchel’s who came out on the right side of a 4-13 to 0-12 scoreline.

Goals from full forward Stephen Clarke either side of the short whistle had the Ardsmen in control before two late three-point strikes from Martin Coulter Jnr. gave the scoreboard a slightly misleading complexion.

Keady - last year’s provincial intermediate champions - gave as good as they got in the first half and turned around trailing by just a couple of points, 1-7 to 0-8. But ’Galget’s ability to find the net proved decisive as they marched into the Ulster decider.
