## Summary

Portaferry beat Dunloy 1-25 to 2-14 to reach the Ulster Club SHC final, with players and supporters dedicating the victory to Ciara Mageean. The two-time Olympian, who played camogie for the club and later advised its hurlers, died of cancer aged 34 two weeks earlier.

Finn Turpin scored six points from play and said the win might bring some joy to Mageean’s family. Manager Connor O’Prey said the team would draw inspiration from how she approached sport and illness. Portaferry will face Slaughtneil on 28 November, seeking its first provincial title since 2014.
