Errigal Ciaran's Ruairi Canavan scored an amazing point after a cheeky dummy in their Ulster club championship quarter final against Glen.

Collecting the ball near the 45, the Tyrone star dummied Glen defender Ryan Dougan, before slotting the ball over the bar.

His score put Errigal Ciaran 3 points ahead after a shaky start which saw them concede two goals.

You can even hear the crowd voice their amazement at the move.

Ryan Dougan was on the receiving end of the dummy solo and we just have to commend him for his perfect reply to being on the receiving end of this point.

Great Year

The recognition for his point, caps off a great year for the Tyrone star. Son of Tyrone legend Peter Canavan and brother of current county panelist Daragh, Ruairi is making his own name. The 19-year-old was named Eirgrid u20 Footballer of the Year for his role in his county's U20 All Ireland triumph. He hit 1-7 in the final against Kildare and 1-34 throughout the championship.

Also, he played an important role in Errigal Ciaran's county title win. His tally of 1-11 in the championship was only bettered by his brother Darragh's 0-20.

With his performances gaining traction, it won't be long till we see him feature more in senior intercounty action.

Thriller

Despite Canavan's efforts Errigal Ciaran lost out to Glen in a thrilling match. The Derry champions got off to the best start with an early goal from Conor Convery capitalised on goalkeeper Darragh McAnenly's fumble. Errigal responded with a goal of their own from Tommy Canavan. Glen then reestablished their lead with another goal from Alex Doherty. However, they only scored one more point in the half as Errigal steadied the ship and went into halftime in a 1-08 to 2-01 lead.

In a game which defied most people's idea of Ulster football, Glen started the second half as they did the first with another goal. They quickly followed it up with a flurry of points and with the momentum behind them, Errigal Ciaran could not muster another comeback.

Speaking after his club's 3-10 to 1-12 victory, Glen manager Malachy O'Rourke was relieved to get a win over his home club. Next up for O'Rourke side is Antrim champions Cargin who saw off Naomh Conaill in a dramatic match which ended in penalties.
