IT WAS A hectic day of club football action as county titles were lifted across the country today.
Ferbane ended their 25-year wait without the Dowling Cup in Offaly as two second-half goals from Cian Johnson powered them to a 2-13 to 0-14 win over Rhode in the final.
Trillick lifted the Tyrone SFC crown for the eighth time in their history and second in the past five years, defeating an Errigal Ciaran side that contained Peter Harte and Darragh Canavan.
Mattie Donnelly scored a brace and Lee Brennan fired over 0-4, but it was defender Rory Brennan who claimed man-of-the-match honours.
Elsewhere in Ulster, Castlerahan retained their Cavan title with a 1-9 to 0-10 win over Ramor United. Kilcoo claimed their 17th Down crown and seventh since 2012 after defeating Warrenpoint by 1-12 to 0-14.
