Stephen O'Neill was sent off late in the game at Healy Park

Keeper Jonathan Curran made three great saves for the Reds Hands which helped them lead 0-6 to 0-2 at half-time.

They extended the advantage to 0-10 to 0-2 but Queen's then replied with six unanswered points.

However, impressive Niall Gormley then goaled for Tyrone and Colm Donnelly went on to hit his side's second goal.

Gormley hit two of Tyrone's six first-half points while O'Neill, Owen Mulligan (two) and the lively Donnelly were also on target for the Red Hands.

Other men joining Gormley is making their first Tyrone appearance included goalkeeper Curran and Chris Colhoun.

Tyrone led 0-3 to 0-0 after 10 minutes before James McGovern and Justin Crozier replied for the varsity outfit.

However, Queen's could have been ahead at that stage as keeper Curran, a late call-up to the Tyrone squad this week, made a brilliant double-save to deny Fermanagh star Ciaran O'Reilly.

Later in the half, Curran showed again that he may challenge Pascal McConnell and John Devine for the number one jersey this year when he made another brilliant stop to deny Kevin Niblock.

Tyrone hit four points in as many minutes after the break with Aidan McCarron, Gormley, Colquhoun and Sean Cavanagh on target.

Queen's, to the credit, responded with six unanswered points through Gavin Donaghy (two), Michael Ward (two), Kevin Niblock and Aidan Carr.

However, Tyrone killed off the Queen's comeback when Gormley hit the net after a superb O'Neill pass.

Declan Trainor set up Donnelly's late goal but Tyrone's previously satisfactory afternoon was then ruined when O'Neill received his straight red card after an apparent off-the-ball incident.

Queen's also ended the game with 14 players as Paddy Courtney received his second yellow card in injury-time.
