The Derry and Antrim Champions will go head-to-head for the Ulster Senior Club Championship after both the Loup and St Galls won their respective semi-finals on Sunday.

Loup edged out Down Champions Kilcoo in a tense encounter, coming through by a single point.

Kilcoo had been playing in their first provincial series in more than 70 years, and gave the Derry side a tough time in their last four clash.

Even after going a man down towards the end of the first half Kilcoo led for most of the game, but Paul Young's goal levelled proceedings with eight minutes to go, and a late point secured victory for the Loup.

There was controversy on the final whistle though, as Kilcoo's Conor Laverty seemed to be fouled while bearing down on goal in the dying seconds, but the Referee allowed play to continue, allowing Loup to run out winners by 1-12 to 1-11.

St Gall's laboured in the opening exchanges of their encounter with Clontibret, with the Monaghan side enjoying an early two point lead.

However, the Belfast outfit blasted back to lead by 0-8 to 0-5 at half time.

Two goals from Rory Gallagher put St Galls out of sight of their opponents, with the game ending 2-15 to 0-11.
