· Yahoo Sports

Rory Beggan's last-gasp two-point free in extra-time saw Monaghan break Derry hearts with a 1-30 to 3-23 win which saw them through to the final of the Ulster Senior Football Championship.

The Farney men fought back from 10 down in normal time, forcing the extra period as Jack McCarron slung over a two-pointer from a sideline with the last kick after the hooter sounded and Derry fans already celebrating.

It was a game that had it all, as the drama kept coming as both sides emptied the tank.

Derry will look back with regrets as a high wides tally of 14 in normal time would come back to bite, while Monaghan's ability to hit two-pointers kept them afloat, energised them, rescued the situation and ultimately won the game.

Gabriel Bannigan's men will now look ahead to the final on 17 May where they will face either Armagh or Down who meet in the second semi-final at Clones on Sunday.
