Tyrone win minor final after extra time

TYRONE 1-20 MAYO 1-15, Pearse Park (after extra-time)

Tyrone leaped to joint fourth spot in the All-Ireland MFC roll of honour after digging deep in extra-time to ensure a five-point victory at Pearse Park, Longford.

Level on eight occasions in normal time, including three in the first half, Tyrone produced the goods in extra-time, holding Mayo scoreless in the opening period as they led by 0-17 to 0-14 at the break.

A goal within 20 seconds of the restart from Conor O'Neill after a mistake by Mayo keeper Robert Hennelly, propelled Tyrone to victory.

Despite midfielder James Cafferty fisting home a 79th-minute goal for Mayo to cut the gap to four points, this was mere consolation for his side as Tyrone completed a first ever senior-minor All-Ireland double for an Ulster side.

AFL prospect Kyle Coney (0-05) claimed the man-of-the-match award and held the Red Hands together at vital stages in this game.

Afterwards, joint captains Ronan McNabb and Ryan Pickering accepted the Tom Markham Cup from GAA President Nickey Brennan.
