Tyrone retained their All-Ireland master football title with a 0-13 to 1-9 victory over Dublin on Saturday.
The game had finished 0-11 to 1-8 after 60 minutes. Dublin had remained competitive during the second half despite being reduced to 14 players when Denis Bastick was shown a straight red card after 40 minutes.
The five-time Dublin All-Ireland winner - who had only come on as a substitute moments earlier - was sent off after striking Tyrone fullback Aidan Brady as a free kick dropped short of the goal. Tyrone led 0-9 to 0-6 at that stage.
Despite being down a player, Dublin did manage to take a two-point lead, with a goal from Brendan McManamon (brother of eight-time Dublin All-Ireland winner Kevin McManamon) proving key.

During the two five-minute periods of extra-time, Stephen O'Neill - who scored five points in the match - and John McMullan hit scores to give Tyrone the victory.
"They're putting in a serious shift there, maybe six months, one night a week," Tyrone captain Conor Gormley told Highland Radio.
"Men were coming from a lot of distances away to be there. Men were coming back from holidays. Gary Coney there was away in Ibiza, he came back home yesterday, and is flying back out again tomorrow for the family. That's the level of dedication the boys are putting into this. It's great to see that they're doing that.
"It's great to get two-in-a-row, it's never been done before. For me to be captain of these boys, I'll sleep well tonight, it's just an honour and privilege.
"That game was up there nearly with a big club championship game in Tyrone. The pace of it, the hits, the way it was going, toing and froing.
"Dublin came back at us strongly. After the goal, they had a bit of momentum, and we could have laid down. It just shows the character these boys have. You have to give credit to the management for instilling that belief that there's always more in us.
"These boys aren't afraid of hard work. Some of them are well into their 40s, and are playing savage, savage football."
