Victories over Derry, Fermanagh and Cavan were followed by a defeat at the hands of eventual winners Monaghan as Tyrone completed the round robin stage top of their group. An easy win over Down in the semi-final booked Tyrone’s place in the decider with hosts Monaghan, which was to prove to be a hurdle too far for the Tyrone representatives.
