Ardboes fans try to attack the referee after the game
In a breathtaking Tyrone Senior championship football final, Dromore's 1-14 to 1-13 win over Ardboe was overshadowed by a post-match incident involving referee Sean Quinn.

Officials from the Tyrone County board are set to investigate allegations that Quinn was assaulted by a member of the crowd at Healy Park in Omagh.

Dromore won thanks to a goal coming from a penalty that the referee awarded in injury time.

Colm McCullagh slotted the ball home to give Dromore their second Tyrone Senior Football Championship title in three years.

Ardboe had opened the scoring in the second minute but it was Dromore who settled and hit three points without reply.

Ardboe struggled to get a footing in the game and it was All Ireland Minor winner Ronan McNabb who put Dromore four points clear.

Gavin Teague and Frank McGuigan linked up to pull one back for Ardboe to leave them trailing 0-7 to 0-4 at half time.

The second half got off to an electric start with Ardboe closing the gap with scores from Tommy MCGuigan and Kyle Coney, before Shea McGuigan smashed the ball into the roof of the Dromore net.

McCullagh was on hand to keep Dromore in touch after three points for Ardboe and when Colm Donelly was brought down in the dying minutes, it was up to McCullagh to hold his nerve from the spot and hand Dromore the win.
