Tyrone dug out a 2-17 to 2-14 win over Sligo after a ding-dong Christy Ring Cup contest at Markievicz Park on Saturday.
Two Sean Óg Grogan goals had Tyrone 2-08 to 0-05 at the break and seemingly in control. However Sligo kept plugging away, with Conor Griffin finding the net after a long puck caught out the Red hand defence.
With seven minutes to go, Tyrone goalkeeper Conor McElhatton was black-carded for pulling down Gerard O'Kelly Lynch. Rory McHugh pointed the penalty to get it back to 2-17 to 1-14, and after Ruairi Devlin conceded another penalty (for which he received a second yellow card) McHugh rattled the net.
Ultimately Sligo left themselevs with too much to do though as Tyrone saw it out.
London maintained their 100% record with a third win on the bounce as they saw off Wicklow in Ruislip.
Ronan Crowley and Kevin Reid both goaled, with Jack Goulding (0-07) and Owen Shiel (0-06) chipping in with good contributions in a 2-20 to 0-14 victory.
Kildare had too much for Derry at Hawkfield, where they prevailed by 2-18 to 0-18.
Two goals from Jack Sheridan - one in each half - ultimately proved the difference as the Lilywhites took the spoils.
