The side from St Johnston got off to a perfect start on 10 minutes when Kevin McBrearty curled home a free-kick and Glen Bouvaird then scored a fine second goal. Jim McCahill’s team were staring into the abyss, two down at the break, but started their comeback six minutes into the second half. Micheál Doherty scored a penalty after Kildrum’s Conor Crossan handled on the line and was given a straight red card.

With a man down, Kildrum’s grip on the cup was loosening. Ryan Toland levelled with 10 minutes to go and then on 85 minutes, Doherty scored a free-kick that ensured the cup was on its way to Ramelton.

Swilly Rovers: Caolan Bolton (Ciaran Molloy 46); Darren Dunworth, Johnny Boyle, Dylan Quinn, Paul Fisher; Kyle Black, (Eunan Diver 67), David Fisher, Ryan Toland, Micheál Doherty; Ronan Curtis, Michael McHugh (Laurence Toland 46).

Kildrum Tigers: Michael Lynch; Barry O’Donnell (Jonny McGinty 68), Shane Porter, Conor Crossan, Kevin McBrearty; Kevin Browne (Oisin McMenamin 59), Paul Toland, Glen Bovaird, Gareth Colhoun (Damian Crossan 52); Kevin Doran, William Lynch.
