Tyrone's appeal against the outcome of last Friday night's controversial Ulster U20FC semi-final against Armagh has been thrown out by the Ulster Council.

The Red Hands lost after two periods of extra time at the Athletic Grounds in a game that was marred by a mass brawl involving players and mentors from both teams in the closing stages.

Tyrone contended that both teams should not have been restored to 15 men for the second phase of extra-time after both were reduced to 13-a-side following the melee at the end of the first phase. They claimed this was in breach of the ruling that "Phase 2 of Extra-Time shall be considered an extension of the initial Extra-Time rather than as a new period of Extra Time".
