Meath 0-19 Tyrone 2-14 (aet)By Francis MooneyTyrone escaped from Navan with a narrow win and a place in the second round of the Qualifier series, squeezing out a courageous Meath side in an extra-time thriller. Meath manager Andy McEntee is restrained after confronting the referee following the match at Páirc Táilteann. And they went in front for the first time midway through the second half when Brennan landed a free. Tyrone were reduced to 14 men when Tiernan McCann received a straight red card in the 65th minute, but they managed to go level again through McAliskey. Tyrone: M O’Neill; P Hampsey, R McNamee, HP McGeary; T McCann, F Burns (0-2), M McKernan (0-1); C Cavanagh, P McNulty; M Donnelly, N Sludden (0-1), C Meyler; C McShane (0-2), R Donnelly, C McAliskey (1-8, 0-6f).
