There were no surprises at Pearse Park. Tyrone flexed their muscles and delivered a message that they’re in this for the long haul.

Qualifier specialists Tyrone are up and running again, and while a four points margin at Pearse Park will not inspire supreme confidence, they are set to gain momentum along the back door route.
