Niall Kane: Withstood a second half aerial bombardment as Derrygonnelly tried to find a way back into the game. 7.5
Niall Branagan: Untroubled in defence and got forward more after the break. 7.5
Ryan McEvoy: Has had tougher days at the office but handled whatever came his way with confidence, and converted frees in either half. 8
Aaron Branagan: Shane McGullion showed what a handful he can be in the semi, but Branagan kept close tabs all day. 7.5
Miceal Rooney: Bombed up and down, and always classy in possession. Sent over a superb first half score from the sideline, and almost bagged an audacious goal after a misplaced McGurn kick-out. 8
Darryl Branagan: Operated as sweeper and made some timely interceptions in nip and tuck early exchanges. Was on the end of a flowing move to brilliantly dispatch Kilcoo’s first half goal. 8
Eugene Branagan: No matter where you look on the field, he seems to be there. Worked tirelessly. 7.5
Dylan Ward: Kicked a couple of first half wides but his forward bursts from midfield put Derrygonnelly on the back foot from the off. 8
Aaron Morgan: Competed well around the middle as Kilcoo assumed control. 7
Ceilum Doherty: Driving runs from deep were a feature of the second half and calmly tucked away Kilcoo’s second goal. 8
Paul Devlin: See Star Man
Shealan Johnston: Unerring finish for Kilcoo’s third goal. 7.5
Ryan Johnston: Didn’t score but involved in plenty of Kilcoo’s best moves. 7
Jerome Johnston: Couldn’t keep goalscoring run going after blasting second half effort against the legs of McGurn. Operated around the middle more, and played in brother Shealan for late goal. 7
Conor Laverty: Had a hand in Kilcoo’s first two goals, and movement kept Derrygonnelly thinking all day. 7
Substitutes
Anthony Morgan: Brought on in last 10 when Kilcoo were already out of sight. 6.5
Aidan Branagan: Dropped in and minded the house. Calm as always. 6.5
Feilim McGreevy: Only on the field a matter of seconds when won the kick-out that led to Kilcoo’s third goal. 7
Paul Greenan: Not on long enough to be rated.
Sean Og McCusker: Not on long enough to be rated.
STAR MAN
Paul Devlin (Kilcoo)
JUST edges out Rooney. A composed head as Kilcoo took control in the early stages, didn’t miss a beat from frees and landed two lovely scores in either half. Big game experience told. 8.5
