\nAodh\u00e1n Quinn sends over a score for Tyrone<\/p>\n
Tyrone 4-19 Monaghan 0-22<\/p>\n
All-Ireland champions Tyrone claimed another Ulster Under-20 football title with a nine-point win over Monaghan at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds.<\/p>\n
In maintaining a remarkable record at this level, they have kept themselves on course for a third successive title, with the Leinster winners (Kildare or Louth) their next opponents on 13 May.<\/p>\n
It was a first-half goal rush that made it all possible, as the Red Hands recovered from a nervous start.<\/p>\n
They chased down the Monaghan kick-out in ruthless fashion to pick off the scores, and were confident and convincing in the end as they retained the title in front of a 3,000-strong crowd.<\/p>\n
Turlough Muldoon’s early point was cancelled out by Tom Doherty, who, with a light breeze at his back, floated over a two-pointer.<\/p>\n
Stretching the Tyrone cover as they switched play from right to left and back again, they dominated possession throughout the opening ten minutes, opening out a 0-06 to 0-01 lead, with Max Maguire adding a spectacular effort from close to the sideline.<\/p>\n
But from scraps of attacking possession, the Red Hands got themselves right back in it, Brian Galagher sending Shea McDermott through to smash home a 13th-minute goal.<\/p>\n
Aodhan Quinn brought them level at the end of the opening quarter, and they added a second goal through centre back and captain Conor Devlin, who drove through the middle to finish with power past Jamie Mooney.<\/p>\n
Three scores from 2025 All-Ireland minor footballer of the year Peter Colton nudged the holders three clear as they continued to dominate the Monaghan kick-out.<\/p>\n
\nAodh\u00e1n Quinn sends over a score for Tyrone<\/p>\n
A third goal, fired in by wing back Aodhan Quinn, followed by a couple of McGurren efforts, had the Red Hands ahead by 3-11 to 0-11 at the interval.<\/p>\n
Monaghan came out for the second start with renewed energy, cutting back the deficit through Martin Quinn, Conor Jones, sub Killian Kierans and a Max Maguire two-pointer.<\/p>\n
Now it was the turn of the Tyrone defence to feel the heat, but they broke away for McDermott and Conall Sheehy to hit the target and keep a hungry opponent at arms length.<\/p>\n
Trailing by six moving into the closing ten minutes, Monaghan needed another burst of energy, and it came from Max Maguire, who sent his second two-pointer of the evening sailing between the posts, before brining his side to within three.<\/p>\n
Conor Jones and substitute Tommy Mallen helped them turn the midfield battle in their favour, and Kierans sliced over a gem, but the inspirational Devlin continued to maraud through the heart of a nervous Farney defence, bringing hsis tally to 1-03.<\/p>\n
And they killed the game off with a fourth goal from substitute Darragh Donaghy on the hour.<\/p>\n
