Tyrone eased into the All-Ireland MFC final after hammering Meath 1-21 to 2-7 at Croke Park on Sunday.

It was a superb display by the young Red Hands, with Conor O'Neill netting on 28 minutes to help the Ulster side into a 1-7 to 0-5 half-time lead.

Tyrone keeper Tim Harney saved a Michael Newman penalty and Meath briefly threatened after goals from Damien Carroll and Darragh Smyth.

But Tyrone pulled clear again to secure a clash with Mayo in the decider.

Kyle Coney was among the outstanding performers for the Reds Hands and the Ardboe forward struck seven points in the second half.


Tyrone: T Harney, F McQuaid, G Teague, R Pickering, S McCrory, P Harte, K Mossey, N McKenna, M Rogers, C Girvan, D McNulty, M Donnelly, K Coney, P McNeice, C O'Neill.
