===Final showdown with Cet=== Conall pursued Cet after he had made a raid on Ulster, killing twenty-seven men and taking their heads. It had snowed, so he was able to follow his trail. He caught up with him, but was reluctant to face him until his charioteer chided him for cowardice. They met at a ford, and Conall killed Cet in a ferocious combat that left Conall near to death himself. He was found by [[Bélchú]] of [[Breifne]], a Connachtman, who took him home, tended to his wounds, and planned to fight him when he was fit. But Bélchú soon regretted his honourable behaviour and asked his three sons to kill Conall as he lay in his sickbed. Conall overheard and forced Bélchú to take his place in the bed, and when his sons arrived they killed him instead. Conall then killed the three of them and took all four heads home.<ref>Kuno Meyer (ed. & trans), [http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/cet.html "The Death of Cet mac Mágach"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131226141452/http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/cet.html |date=2013-12-26 }}, ''The Death-Tales of the Ulster Heroes'', Todd Lecture Series, 1906</ref>
