Fermanagh's Shane Goan (right) gets to grips with Sean Cavanagh
|
Fermanagh handed Tyrone their second defeat in seven days by deservedly winning 0-9 to 0-8 at Enniskillen.
Sean Cavanagh and Stephen O'Neill hit early points for Tyrone but the Red Hands then suffered a blow when Brian McGuigan was forced off by injury.
Fermanagh levelled at 0-4 apiece but Tyrone led 0-6 to 0-4 at the break.
Points from Brewster, Shane McDermott, Shane Goan and Ciaran O'Reilly put Fermanagh two ahead and they held on to maintain their 100 per cent record.
Fermanagh seemed to have more appetite for the game and their attitude was typified by the performances of defenders Barry Owens and Shane McDermott while O'Reilly, James Sherry and Ryan Keenan had fine games in attack.
Cavanagh and O'Neill scored the opening two points of the game but two O'Reilly scores and a Sherry effort put Fermanagh ahead.
Two O'Neill points restored Tyrone's lead before Sherry levelled the game again with Fermanagh's four point.
Tyrone finished the half the stronger thanks to a Cavanagh free and a Martin Penrose point which was nearly a goal with Fermanagh goalkeeper Chris O'Brien superbly deflecting the shot over the bar.
Amazingly, Tyrone were held scoreless for the opening 27 minutes of the second half as Fermanagh dominated possession.
They took the lead in the 50th minute when Shane Goan swung over a great point and Ciaran O'Reilly then added to the Erne lead.
O'Neill cut Fermanagh's lead to the minimum but Mark Little's point then restored Fermanagh's two-point advantage.
Tyrone's Peter Donnelly scored the final point of the match but Fermanagh were not to be denied.
