Quality tells as Tyrone overcome gallant Offaly

Offaly 0-12 Tyrone 2-15

The home side distinguished themselves for three-quarters of this well-contested game.

Ultimately the enhanced strength of the All-Ireland champions following the interval introduction of Owen Mulligan, Kevin Hughes and Gerard Cavlan saw them surge into an unassailable lead in the last ten minutes. The control they exerted was to ensure their first points of the campaign before Cavlan scored their second goal in injury time.
