Dublin swat Tyrone aside to book final showdown with Derry

Dublin's Colm Basquel shoots past Niall Morgan of Tyrone to score his side’s first goal of the match. Photograph: Tom Maher/InphoDublin’s footballers eased their way into next weekend’s Division 1 final of the National Football League with a devastating defeat of Tyrone at Croke Park on Sunday. Five goals fleshed out the All-Ireland champions’ superiority over a poor Tyrone side, short some of their regular starters and bereft of any hope once the first goal went in.

The match opened with a degree of competitiveness, the teams level twice in the opening 10 minutes after Con O’Callaghan had opened the scoring in the third minute. Cathal McShane pointed after a through ball from the advanced Niall Morgan for 0-2 apiece. There had been signs though that the Dublin defence wouldn’t be giving away much and Daire Newcombe beat him to the first long ball in the sixth minute.
