Mickey Harte hails Tiernan McCann effort as Tyrone break free

Tyrone 1-10 Meath 0-11: Two teams virtually crippled by the fear of losing finally threw off the chains at Healy Park, and it was Tyrone who found a way to handle the pressure.

Peter Harte’s second half goal was the difference, giving the Red Hands a deserved two points win and a place in this morning’s All-Ireland Round 3B Qualifier draw.

Meath had their noses in front in the 54th minute when Tyrone’s Tiernan McCann, a powerhouse performer off the bench, was felled as he went for goal.
