The sides traded two points each during the remainder of the second half as Damien Donohue's side led 0-6 to 0-5 at the half-time break.

Tyrone’s Ruairi Canavan restored parity 11 minutes in the second half and 14 minutes later Gavin Potter stretched their lead to three points.

Daire Madden subsequently landed two successive points making it a one-point game but an equaliser proved elusive as Cavan lost out by the smallest of margins.
