Tyrone through to Ulster ladies football intermediate final

Tyrone have advanced to the Ulster intermediate final after defeating Fermanagh by five points in Emyvale on Saturday 28 May. Victory however has come at a price as the Red Hand side lost captain Neamh Woods to a shoulder injury and full forward Cara McCrossan with a knee problem.

Tyrone were quickest out of the blocks and led at the break 1-9 to 0-5. Indeed the score could have been much greater but for a number of saves by Roisin Gleeson in the Fermanagh goal. In the second half Tyrone were cruising and with with ten minutes to go they were leading 2-14 to 0-7. At this stage Catherine Mc Nabb was sin binned and between then and the final whistle Fermanagh scored 2-2 without reply. Despite this the Red Hand girls held on for a deserved win.

Fermanagh will get a second bite at the cherry. On 18 June they will play Down with the winner guaranteed a place in the final against Tyrone.
