Tyrone have successfully begun the defence of their Ulster Senior Football title with a 2-17 to 2-10 away win against Fermanagh.
Conor Meyler and Liam Rafferty hit the net for the All-Ireland champions.
Fermanagh's two goals came late in the game from Josh Largo Ellis and Conall Jones. A scuffle followed soon after which saw Meyler get a straight red card.
He will now miss out on Tyrone's clash with Derry unless there is a successful appeal.
