Loughmacrory manager Marty Boyle heaped praise on his players after they landed their club’s maiden Tyrone senior football championship title on Sunday.

A 0-18 to 2-11 victory over Trillick St MacCartan’s in Omagh saw Boyle’s men writing their name into the history books, with Gareth Donaghy’s 59th minute point the difference between the sides in the end.

Speaking to BBC Sport NI afterwards, Boyle credited his group after coming out on top in “a real rollercoaster of a game”.

"It's all about the players, there were questions makes throughout that second half, but they responded brilliantly," he stated.

"Trillick got it back level and I'm sure everyone thought they would kick on with the sizeable breeze and get the winner, but they just refused to be beaten and you can't buy that character.

"That was a real rollercoaster of a game, but every championship match we have played this year has been a real rollercoaster and we didn't expect anything else.

"People probably thought this day would never come but when you have that much talent when you have in our changing room amazing things can happen.”
