'This group has serious heart' - All-Ireland joy for Tyrone
The Red Hands captured their first title since 2018 with a 2-16 to 1-13 victory at Croke Park
Aoife Horisk and substitute Katie Rose Muldoon scored goals in either half to help the Red Hands avenge last year's agonising one-point decider defeat by Leitrim, much to McCann's delight.
"On the sideline, we felt totally in control," he said.
"We were creating chances but we just weren't taking them, which was frustrating for us.
"When we play relaxed football, we are a hard team to stop and we played relaxed football, especially in the second half.
"The whole group have serious heart and determination as a collective and that was a collective performance. I was really happy with their performance today and the key thing was getting on top and staying on top."
But while Tyrone toasted an immensely satisfying triumph, Antrim were left disappointed after being edged out by Louth in the Junior decider.
The Saffrons started strongly, scoring an early goal, but Louth fought back to eventually win 0-13 to 1-8 and deny the Ulster county their fourth title at the grade - and first since 2022.
For joint manager Chris Scullion, it was a case of Antrim not taking their chances in the second half.
"It just didn't fall our way today. It seemed to be mistake after mistake sometimes and we were constantly trying to regroup the girls to go again, go again," said Scullion, who leads the team alongside Michael Devlin.
"It maybe took a toll on them, but I'm not taking anything away from Louth. Louth were brilliant today. They set up defensively, kept their same structure and they were able to break out and it caused us problems.
"They were able to work the ball around and get their scores. Fair play to them."

Adam Idah at a Celtic crossroads season as Martin O'Neill admits he only saw teen powerhouse going in one direction
Martin O'Neill cast an eye over a 17-year-old Adam Idah in his final months as Ireland manager and saw a youngster blessed by a raw power he was sure would see his career motor. The former Celtic boss was fuelled with hope by the sight of Idah and Troy Parrott leading the Irish attack at the 2018 UEFA Under 17 Championships in England. But five years on from the Green Army's charge to the quarter finals of that competition, O'Neill feared Idah's footballing journey was grinding to a halt. READ MORE: Brendan Rodgers offers simple Celtic choice and the answer is always the same for one dedicated disciple READ MORE: I see Celtic chaos coming as blunt instrument goes from sleep walking to full blown narcolepsy – Hugh Keevins A bit part player at Norwich, the player himself has since admitted his career was stalling in Norfolk. So when last year's move to Celtic came about O'Neill admits he had doubts over the frontman's chances of getting back on track in the Parkhead fast lane. Twenty goals including three in the Champions League is a fair return in his first full season after ending his loan stint as a Scottish Cup Final hero. Yet a section of the Hoops support remain unsure of the Irishman who, despite his goal haul, has never truly convinced he's ready to command the number nine shirt. It means the 24-year-old is at a crossroads with the new season off a running and Brendan Rodgers in the market for another striker. O'Neill just hopes the 6ft 3in frontman can make the most of the attributes that made him a standout in that U17 competition at Loughborough and St George's. He recalled: 'He was an underage player at the same time as Troy Parrott. Roy Keane and I went to Loughborough, it was the under-17s who were playing in an international tournament. 'He was outstanding at the time. He was big, he was strong, very, very strong. Sometimes you'd think to yourself 'well, there's no more growth in him so maybe when other people get a wee bit stronger…' 'But no, definitely, you could see he had plenty of talent. 'I did watch his career, but it was grinding to a bit of a halt at Norwich, not getting into the side. 'I thought that stepping up to Celtic might be too much for him. I thought it was. So well done to him. 'He's got a lot to live up to if he's going to lead the line at Celtic this season, and that's big. 'As a centre forward, you're expected to score goals, expected to score a lot of goals as well. 'And you're expected to be able to beat players, hold it up, run down the channels, do everything. 'Brendan should be able to teach him the game. He's improved since Norwich. He's made that step up. 'He's gone from there, where he wasn't playing regularly in a Championship side, and there he is at Celtic. 'But this is a big season for him. If he's going to start, this is a really big season.' Idah's form int he last campaign fluctuated from a 14-game goal draught to ending that run with a deadly double in a Champions League blockbuster at Villa Park. The inconsistency led to criticism from punters, pundits and ex-players. But O'Neill said: 'That's the nature of the game. I just think you have to cut 'the noise'. Whatever that noise is. I hate that word as much as I hate the word 'transition'. 'The noise is there. It's there every single week, and you think you can be doing really well for a period of three months, then you might go four games without scoring a goal, and whoaaaa.. those three months suddenly disappear completely. 'That's called playing for the Old Firm. You've got to deal with it. 'I went to the game at Villa Park and he scored twice. You're talking about a team flying high in the Premier League. So if you can't get confidence from that, you'll never get it.' Idah drew a blank as Celtic squeezed past St Mirren 1-0 on the opening day of the season ahead of this afternoon's trip to face Aberdeen leading to more flak from punters. With just 10 days until the Champions League play off against either Kairat Almaty or Slovan Bratislava, the clock is ticking on Rodgers adding to his ranks ahead of the Euro campaign. And O'Neill remembers all to well the feeling of anxiety growing as the end of the transfer window edged closer. The man who led the Hoops to the 2003 UEFA Cup Final said: 'I'm hoping that Celtic get a few players in. 'I've been in the same situation as a manager when we haven't done business early on. 'Brendan wants to improve the team. I would be astonished if the board and Dermot didn't want to improve the team. 'Each day that counts down, I suppose, you get worried. I was exactly the same. 'As a manager, you're definitely looking to try and improve the team. 'You would say that at this minute, if Celtic are going to maintain last season's form, particularly in the Champions League, then you would think that you would need a bit of help.' Twenty four years ago O'Neill's Hoops were blazing past Ajax via a 3-1 first leg win in Amsterdam on their way to the Champions League group stages where they dumped Porto, Rosenborg and famously Juventus in Glasgow but still bowed out after losing all three games away from home. The 73-year-old still remembers that night in the Amsterdam ArenA like it was yesterday - and insists that should still be the benchmark for the current Hoops side. He said: 'Amazing, honestly. Bobby Petta, Didier Agathe, and Chris Sutton scored. 'This is what Celtic and Rangers should be talking about. They should be plying their trade in the big leagues. 'The precedent was set years and years ago, certainly for Celtic with Jock Stein. And every manager that steps in. 'That seems as if it's a million miles away, and it probably is at this minute. 'It doesn't mean that you shouldn't be aspiring to that. You have to go for it. 'If you're in the Europa League, that's fine, but your aspirations should be the Champions League. I'm sure that's what Rangers are aiming for now.' * Martin O'Neill was promoting Premier Sports' coverage of Scottish football including over 80 matches from the Scottish Premiership, Premier Sports Cup, Scottish Cup and KDM Evolution Trophy.

Players 'put their hands up' for World Cup
Ireland head coach Scott Bemand says he has not yet finalised his squad for the Women's Rugby World Cup. After a comeback win over Scotland last week, Ireland were beaten by Canada in their final warm-up match before the tournament that starts in England in two weeks' time. But after a strong second-half performance against the side ranked number two in the world, Bemand said he was "delighted" that players are still fighting for a place in the final 32-player squad that will be announced on Monday. "There's a lot of girls that put their hands up which is really pleasing," Bemand told BBC Sport NI. "The girls are actually getting used to performing with that pressure. It's the nature of what we do. In elite sport, there's always a selection. "You're always competing, and I think over the last two years we've certainly got better in that space." Ireland have already lost influential forwards Erin King and Dorothy Wall to injury for the World Cup, while Aoife Wafer did not feature in either warm-up fixture. Bemand, though, is pleased with the depth that has built in his panel. "As that second-half showed, we've got more than just a 15 - we've got a squad and people that can come on and make differences to a game," he added. "We're going to take stock of it now and then we'll see who is in the melting pot to get to the World Cup." Spirited Ireland beaten by Canada in final warm-up game Monaghan 'proud' of Ireland's second-half showing Watch: Clinical Canada score seven tries to beat Ireland 'We're not peaking yet' Ireland face Japan in their opening World Cup game in Northampton on Sunday, 24 August. They will then have further Pool C games against Spain and reigning champions New Zealand as they look to progress to the knockout phase. Despite having just two warm-up games in the lead up to the tournament, Bemand refuted suggestions that Ireland will not be match sharp for the Japan game in a fortnight's time. "I don't think we're undercooked. I think we're right. I think we've come out relatively well physically," said Bemand, who previously worked as an assistant coach with England. "If you look at it, we're about to go into a competition that's six weeks long if we get to the end so we're going to need our group, we're going to need fit and fresh bodies that are ready and prepared to play, so the more you take out yourself now, you've got to use competition to build as well. "I've had the benefit of being involved in the last two World Cups and have kind of learned a lot from that. We're not peaking yet, but we certainly will be peaking as we go through the World Cup."
