McKenna Cup 2024

Players like Ronan O'Neill and Ronan McHugh need to be doing much more to put pressure on for a starting spot in NFL. Not good enough tonight. McCurry doimg much better.

Great coverage. The BBC is giving better service to the GAA than RTE.

Good to see the Dutch lad Hampshey starting.

A half of two halves.

Donegal 1-9 v Tyrone 1-6 at Half-time

Donegal 1-4 Tyrone 1-2 after 10 minutes

Donegal 0-5 v Tyrone 0-4 for the remaining 25 minutes.

Defenses were completely absent on both sides the first 10 minutes, but woke up after that.

I think Donegal will surely regret the patch of 15 minutes without a score, especially as they had a lot of very scorable chances in this period.

Tyrone lucky enough to be only 3 points down.

Conditions not the best, but some nice football being played.

We've Armagh co. Board to thank for the coverage not really the bbc. If this match was in Omagh or newry the cameras wouldn't be there for it. It's the Armagh tv gig which we've to thank for the coverage.

It's a deadly set up to be fair to them. Well done Donegal, the game in Healy park in two weeks will be a tasty affair, as always.

Ah fair play to Donegal, some amount of messing by Tyrone but a more interesting game as a result.

Poor Niall Devlin, a Tyrone man, having to present the cup!

Wobbler is somewhat sceptical of the sustainability of volunteer input to such operations, but perhaps the GAA providing the coverage is one way forward for smaller games.

I thought Tyrone would be glad to rid of it, a millstone.

Enjoyable enough game. Fair play to the BBC (and to the Armagh setup by the sounds of it) for broadcasting it.

Donegal tackling pretty poor I felt and it's been an unwelcome feature of our game all year. Some bad wides too. A good run out for the younger lads though and nice to see Frank and Michael feature.

Yes ........ apart from Ronan's free kicks keeping Tyrone in the match.
