Tyrone turn on the power to sweep Antrim aside
The Red Hands had the ball in the net after just 30 seconds, Harry Óg Conlan making the incision through the heart of the Saffron defence, before Lee Brennan crossed for Padraig McNulty to punch home. Ronan O’Neill and Lee Brennan converted frees, and goalkeeper Niall Morgan drilling two ‘45s between the posts.
Michael McCann finally struck Antrim’s opening point from a free, but Brennan cut in from the right in stoppage time to beat three defenders and finish with pinpoint accuracy to the net, Tyrone ahead by 2-5 to 0-2 at the break.
