Moy 1-9 Derrytresk 0-4
A serious shoulder injury to Tyrone talisman Sean Cavanagh overshadowed a game in which Moy were able to overcome Derrytresk.
Moy led by three points to one at the end of a very low scoring and fractious first half.
Derrytresk were reduced to 14 men following a straight red card to their number 12.
A Ryan O’Neill goal two minutes after the restart put Moy in the driving seat in the second half.
And although Derrytresk battled gamely, Moy turned in a strong final quarter to emerge comfortable winners in the end.
The main talking point of the game saw Sean Cavanagh taken from the pitch with a shoulder injury just six minutes from the end
Moy scorers - Sean Cavanagh 0-4, Peter Mallon 0-3, Ryan O’Neill 1-0, Philip jordan 0-1, Ryan Mellon 0-1
