Cathal McShane says Tyrone's U21s paid no attention to the fact that Roscommon were favourites to beat them.

The slick Red Hands came through Saturday's All-Ireland semi-final to set up a meeting with Tipperary in Navan on Saturday week and midfielder McShane says they just focussed on things that were within their own control:

"We didn't pay any attention to that. We just got on with our game," the Owen Roe O'Neill's clubman states in The Irish News. "We knew we were a good enough team to get the victory. It doesn't matter what anybody says.

"We believed that we could get into an All-Ireland final and that has happened. Nobody can take that away from us. At the end of the day, we don't listen to any of the boys outside the wire and whoever writes in the papers. We just get on with our own game.

"We don't know much about Tipperary. We will just try and prepare our best. We will work hard on the training ground and we will focus on the All-Ireland final."
