GAA All Ireland Minor Football Quarter Final

Tyrone 1-15 Roscommon 1-8

Tyrone minors defated Roscommon 1-15 to 1-8 in Saturday's ESB All-Ireland Minor Football quarter-final at Longford. Paddy McNeice hit two early points for Tyrone but Darren McDermott's goal then put Roscommon ahead.

However, Kyle Coney hit a Tyrone goal before the break as the young Red Hands led 1-6 to 1-4 at half-time. Roscommon fought back to lead early in the second half but they then lost injured Darren McDermott and Tyrone hit a succession of points to take control.

Matthew Donnelly, Ronan Tierney, Niall McKenna and Kyle Coney were among the Tyrone scorers in the second half while centre half-back Peter Harte also had a fine game for the winners.

Tyrone now play Meath on 31st August in All Ireland semi-final

Everything on hold again - Hope they can go all the way now but Meath proved a tough assignment earlier in the year taking a replay to separate them.

Tierney played very well after coming on as a first half sub for Gavin Teague and he kicked 2 good points. Warnock did ok before he was replaced by McNabb with about 15 minutes left.

Thanks to Paddy Hunter and Noel McGinn at Q101 for covering this game. I was unable to get to the game, so it was great to be able to follow the fortunes of these lads on the radio.

Congrats to Tyrone(

) on a fine win but eight points margin was a bit harsh on our gasúiníns.
After Darren McDermott was injured our forward line virtually became non existant and our attacks were mere solo runs to nowhere.
Tyrone scored some fine points in the closing stages and their attacking pace had us struggling to cope.
Still it was our 4th All Ireland Quarter Final in 5 years(mind you only won 1 of them) a far cry from the early years of this Century when we were a distant 5th in Connacht at Minor level.
Our under age set up beginning to bear results but looking at the Tyronies would suggest we have a bit to go yet.
A lot done but more to do.
