Derry reached the 1976 National Football League final, but were defeated by Dublin by a point. They carried their good league form into that year’s Ulster Championship; defeating Armagh and Tyrone comfortably to set up a decider with Cavan. The sides played out a 1–08 to 1–08 draw and the game went to a replay. The replay is still known as an epic and for the first time ever the Ulster final went to extra-time. Despite playing through the pain barrier with a troublesome hamstring, McElhinney completed the match and helped Derry win back-to-back Ulster titles. Derry faced Kerry in the 1976 All-Ireland semi- final, but despite McElhinney winning the midfield battle with Jack O’Shea, Derry were defeated.
