St Gall's recovered from a slow start to hammer Clontibret in Sunday's AIB Ulster Club Football semi-final at the Armagh Athletic Grounds.
Clontibret led 0-4 to 0-2 and the Monaghan team's forward Conor McManus then missed a glorious goal chance.
The let-off seemed to inspire Galls as they fought back to lead 0-8 to 0-5 at half-time.
The superb Rory Gallagher netted to extend Gall's lead to 1-10 to 0-6 and he added on a further late goal.
Kevin McGourty also produced an outstanding game for the Antrim champions while his brother CJ was another impressive performer.
Kevin McGourty notched the opening score for Gall's but three McManus points and a Fergal Mone effort helped Contibret lead 0-4 to 0-2 after 15 minutes.
Then came McManus' goal chance but when he seemed certain to net, he lost his footing and while he did direct the ball into the net, it was ruled out for handling on the ground.
St Gall's responded with four unanswered points with Kevin Niblock and Sean Kelly among the scorers.
Further Gallagher and Niblock scores extended St Gall's lead to 0-8 to 0-5 at the interval.
Gallagher was completely dominating his tussle with the normally reliable Dessie Mone while Kevin McGourty was also causing the Clontibret defence huge problems.
St Gall's stayed in control in the 10 minutes after half-time as they extended their advantage to 0-10 to 0-6.
Then came the decisive opening goal as CJ McGourty's gorgeous ball set up Gallagher to net, although the Fermanagh man still had plenty to do after taking the slide-rule pass.
Clontibret wilted in the closing stages as Gall's took complete control and Gallagher's second goal put the topping on a fine performance by the Belfast side.
