Edendork achieved a historic victory as they secured their first ever entry into the Tyrone Senior Football Championship final after defeating Donaghmore by 0-20 to 0-12. St Malachy's, founded in 1932, already have intermediate and junior titles, but have only now reached the highest level of Tyrone senior football. They came through tough games against Ardboe and Clonoe, and showed potential in these wins. Edendork was led by Niall Morgan, who recorded six points as goalkeeper—also his team's highlight throughout the campaign. Defensively, Feargal Logan's Donaghmore didn't let them down and even though there were problems with kickouts in the first half, confidence in the system continued and the match was won. On the other hand, Edendork will enter the final against Errigal Ciaran, the 2024 Ulster champions and All-Ireland finalists, who beat defending champions Loughmacrory. The O'Neill Cup is one of the most intense and competitive tournaments in Gaelic football, and more intense action is expected in the final. In Antrim, two teams from Belfast—St Brigid's and O'Donovan Rossa—will clash in the final after beating Dunloy and Cargin. St Brigid's, also known as Naomh Brid, achieved their first ever county final after overcoming last year's finalists Dunloy. The score was tied at halftime, but they quickly gained momentum in the second half led by JJ Higgins who scored five points.

Meanwhile, O'Donovan Rossa also won against Cargin after Thomas Morgan's last minute goal. Rossa's courage prevailed despite chasing the opponent's lead and made a significant comeback to reach the decider against Naomh Brid. In the Armagh SFC, two southern Armagh teams—Crossmaglen and Killeavy—will compete for the Gerry Fagan Cup. Crossmaglen Rangers made an impressive comeback from 13 points down at half-time, culminating in a win over Clann Eireann. Lucky were Killeavy, who ended a final appearance drought of 38 years after defeating Dromintee, thanks to two goals from Fergal Boylan. Meanwhile, many were shocked by Dingle, the reigning All-Ireland club champions, who were beaten by Spa, 0-12 to 1-5 at halftime. Despite Dingle waking up late on, they were unable to catch up with Spa to secure their win, ending Dingle's dream of back-to-back titles early. The excitement of the Gaelic football club championships continues, and there is much to look forward to in the next stages of Ireland's biggest tournament.

What's next

Edendork will face Errigal Ciaran in the final, which will be a big challenge for them, especially since Errigal Ciaran are current Ulster champions and All-Ireland finalists. This match will certainly have a huge match impact on their reputation in Gaelic football. Meanwhile, St Brigid's, who also reached the Antrim final, will be hoping to maintain their momentum and claim their first county title.
