Ulster champions, Tyrone had to withstand a strong Roscommon challenge as they emerged victorious on a scoreline of 1-15 to 1-08 to reach the All Ireland Semi Final.  They needed a first half goal from Kyle Coney to go in leading 1-6 to 1-4 at half time.  A strong final quarter from the Tyrone lads, with scores from Matthew Donnelly, Patrick McNeice and Ronan Tierney taking them a step further than last year.   Tyrone now meet Meath in the All Ireland Semi Final.
