NUI Maynooth 2-19 IT Blanchardstown 1-5

TYRONE’S dazzling form this season was ultimately rewarded with silverware in yesterday’s ESB All-Ireland MFC final in Croke Park. However, they had to withstand a ferocious and dramatic late Cork revival before surviving.

Tyrone 1-13 Cork 1-12

TYRONE’S form has sparkled to such an extent this season that they have been installed as heavy favourites for tomorrow’s All-Ireland MFC semi-final against Mayo.

KERRY boss Pat O’Driscoll wasn’t in the mood to offer excuses after this footballing lesson at GAA headquarters. Instead he heaped the praise on Tyrone.
