Photograph: Laszlo Geczo/InphoThe sides couldn’t be separated in normal time, finishing level on 1-11 to 2-8, after the scores had been level on nine occasions, and Derry were unable to hold on to a four-point lead as the Red Hands came roaring back with a third goal in extra-time.

But Tyrone responded immediately with a 12th minute strike from Shea O’Hare, finished from close range after Joey Clarke’s shot had been blocked. It was the strong running of midfielder O’Neill that created the opening, his tidy pass inside picking out Ruairi McCullagh, who smashed his shot in off the underside of the crossbar.

Tyrone committed more men forward, and scores from Cassidy and Odhran Brolly nudged them back in front, before Eoin McElholm sent them two clear.
