Tyrone fight back to force a replay

Derry 1-9 Tyrone 0-12

This latest chapter in the bitter rivalry between Derry and Tyrone contained all we have come to expect. A mixture of the good, the bad and the unpleasant. And an unsatisfactory result.

While it was nothing like the barbed All-Ireland quarter final of two years ago, there was enough niggle in the game for Pat McEnaney to take nine names as well as send off Conleth Gilligan with only three minutes left. Three of the four starting midfielders were cautioned, while Tyrone’s Chris Lawn was the only player on either full-back line not be to carded.
