In the earlier stages Tyrone lead 1-6 to 2pts thanks to a Mark Donnelly goal. Donegal hit back with eight unanswered scores to lead by a point at the break. Points from Tyrone’s big game players such as Brian McGuigan, Enda McGinley, Aidan Cassidy and Ryan McMenamin steadied the ship and Donegal were never able to close the gap before the final whistle.

The Donegal County Board is set to make a plea with the Ulster Council to allow Jim Mc Guinness add to his squad for this weekends game with Fermanagh. Due to injuries and flu the Donegal manager had just 17 fit players available to him for yesterdays game against Tyrone. With squad restrictions in place Mc Guinness fears he may not have the numbers for the game with the Erne County.
