The first half turned into the battle of the 14s as, between them, David Clifford and the former Tyrone player shot the lights out. Devlin won an All-Ireland minor for the Red Hand in 2004, scoring a point from wing forward against Kerry, and he was also in and out of Mickey Harte's panels over the years.
He's 35 now but out there in Croke Park, 18 years after losing this same final to Paul Galvin's Finuge, he showed that, even after all these years, he still has it. He ended the first half with 1-3. Clifford had 0-4. Stewartstown led by three.
They were 4/1 at the start of this game, Fossa were 1/6 and while the bookmakers might have been nervous at half-time, they were proved right in the second half. Having had a quiet first half, Paudie Clifford made up for it with the first point of the second half.
Cian O'Shea also came into the game for Fossa, as did the soaring Matt Rennie - who caught a number of kick-outs- and Harry Buckley, who ended his day with 0-3 from play.
The brother followed him over and suddenly, out of nowhere, Stewartstown were struggling. Their mountain was about to become an Everest though, 15 minutes into the second half when the aforementioned Darren Devlin was red carded.

The Harps number three only had himself to blame as he had struck the impressive Emmett O'Shea to the face. To their credit, the Tyrone champs didn't lie down from here on in, keeping it competitive right to the finish, but they couldn't get Gareth Devlin into it again, and Clifford kept them at bay.
Of course he did. And now, along with the brother, he's won it all.Live sport on TV in Ireland this weekend – Football, GAA, Rugby – April 24th to 26th
