'No excuses' for Tyrone in Mayo loss - O'Rourke
Tyrone manager Malachy O'Rourke felt his side did not "get to the pitch of the game" in their 2-17 to 1-13 defeat by Mayo. Coming into the All-Ireland round-robin contest off an impressive win over Ulster champions Donegal seven days prior, the Red Hands found themselves 1-9 to 0-4 down at half-time. Advertisement Although they would cut the deficit to a point in the second half, Mayo, under the charge of Stephen Rochford after Kevin McStay stepped away for health reasons, pulled away to bounce back from their opening-round loss to Cavan. "We'd a great win last week and we came here knowing, after the disappointment of the Cavan game, Mayo would be coming here with real hunger," said O'Rourke. "We knew we'd have to meet that head on and I suppose that's the most disappointing thing, we felt in the first half we didn't get to the pitch of the game. "We were a bit flat and left ourselves with a lot to do. In fairness to the boys, we dug in well, we got it back to a point but we made too many mistakes, we weren't playing well enough and Mayo deserved the victory. We've no excuses." Advertisement While Tyrone were in action on consecutive weekends, Mayo had a week's break from their last outing, although O'Rourke did not feel that was the telling reason for his side's flat performance. "There's no doubt that the week turnaround is very small and it could have some effect, but we're not using that as an excuse either," he added. "We knew what the story was, we knew exactly what Mayo would bring and we were hoping we'd be able to meet that and get another really good performance. "For all of us in the changing room, we didn't get to the level that we need to get to and the level we expect of ourselves." Tyrone will conclude their round-robin action against Cavan at a neutral venue during the weekend of 14/15 June.

Tyrone hammer Louth to defend U20 All-Ireland title
Tyrone retained the All-Ireland under-20 title with a 5-16 to 0-17 win over Louth at the Athletic Grounds. The victory marks a third title in four years for the Red Hands at the grade. Tyrone's ability to find the back of the net proved the difference against a Louth side appearing in their first ever final at the level. Noah Grimes (2-6) and Eoin McElholm (2-4) along with a late goal from substitute Shea McDermott marked a blistering attacking display. Paul Devlin's side led 2-7 to 0-8 at half-time, Grimes hitting his first goal on 12 minutes after a fine pass from Matthew Quinn. Louth responded to lead by one with five to the break, Sean Callaghan's two pointer the pick of their efforts. McElholm latched onto a poor kick-out to feed a composed Grimes, who scored a second goal as the Red Hands landed 1-3 just before the whistle. Tyrone could have ended the game as a contest early in the second half but Conor O'Neill had his effort for a goal remarkably saved by Tiarnan Markey. Louth responded with a two pointer from Tadgh McDonnell and scores from Lennon and McDonnell to cut the deficit to three. Despite the fright, McElholm who featured for the senior side in Saturday's win over Donegal showed his class with two goals in five minutes before substitute McDermott added gloss with a classy fifth goal on the whistle. Tyrone: C McGarvey; F Nelis, B Hughes, C Devlin; C Daly, J Clarke (0-1), C Donnelly (0-1); C Devlin, C O'Neill (0-1); C Sheehy, E McElholm (2-4), M Quinn; N Grimes (2-6), R McCullagh (0-2 1f), L Og Mossey. Subs: Eoin Donaghy for Sheehy (52), Cormac Mallon for L Og Mossey (55), Shea McDermott (1-1) for C Devlin (58), Liam Lawn for McCullagh (60), Sean Broderick for Nelis (60). Louth: T Markey; M Reid, K Martin, P Tinnelly; T McDonnell (0-3 1 2pt), C McGinty; S Callaghan (0-3 1 2pt), J Maguire (0-2 1 2pt); S Lennon (0-1), C Mac Criosta, P Grimes-Murphy; A Gillespie (0-1 1f), T McDonnell (0-2 1f), D Dorian (0-1).

Tyrone lift Ulster minor title with win over Cavan at Brewster
Tyrone 2-11 Cavan 1-08 A strong last eleven minutes during which they scored 1-03 without reply saw Tyrone get the better of a gallant Cavan side to lift the Ulster Minor Championship title at Brewster Park in Enniskillen on Sunday evening. Tyrone got off to a blistering start to the game but by halftime, it was Cavan who were in the ascendancy leading 1-07 to 0-08. James Mulgrew, Thomas Meenan, Peter Colton and Eoin Long all registered in the opening five minutes as the Red Hands were quickly out of the traps. A free from Fsolan Graham opened Cavan's account in the sixth minute before Jake Brady reduced the deficit further with a superb score. Efforts from Colton and Eoin Long had Tyrone four clear but the rest of the half belonged to Cavan. Wing half-back John Donohoe hit a brilliant two-pointer and after Padraig Donaghy and Nathan Quigley had traded scores a two-pointer from midfielder Grahsm levelled matters. Cavan now had the momentum and just before the break a shot from Quigley took a defection on its way to the net. Tyrone missed a number of chances on the restart before Cathal Farley got their first goal in the 37th minute. A free from Quigley levelled matters but with twenty minutes left to play that proved to be their last score. The quality wasn't as good as the first half but Joel Kerr fired in a 49th minute goal and the winners kicked on. A free from Long was followed by a brace from play from Kerr as Tyrone set up an All-Ireland quarter-final with Cork. Despite defeat, Cavan are also through to the last eight where they will face Kerry.
