Joy for Errigal and Killyclogher

Peter Canavan helped Errigal Ciaran to victory at carrickmore

Defending champions Errigal Ciaran squeezed through their WJ Dolan Tyrone SFC preliminary round clash with Clan na nGael by 0-8 to 0-6 at Carrickmore.

Saturday's turgid encounter was finally settled by late substitute Peter Canavan, who hit the clinching point in stoppage time.

Killyclogher scored a 1-11 to 0-10 win over Derrylaughan at the same venue.

Leo Meenan, with 1-3, and Ciaran Carland, with four points, got the vital scores for Killyclogher.

Brendan Quinn scored five points for the newly promoted Barrys.

Coalisland coasted to a 2-19 to 1-8 win over Omagh at Augher on Friday.

Goals from Plunkett Kane and Richard Thornton made it a surprisingly easy passage for the Fianna with Cathal McCarron netting for Omagh.

Ardboe breezed through to the first round by beating Stewartstown 2-13 to 0-8 in a preliminary game at Edendork.

Second half goals from Tommy McGuigan and John Cunmings killed off the challenge of the newly-promoted Harps.

On Sunday, Moy face Aghyaran, Trillick play Dromore, Cookstown take on Pomeroy while Carrickmore tackle Clonoe.

Owen Mulligan is a fitness doubt for Cookstown's game against Pomeroy at Dungannon after limping off in a club match last weekend.
