First ever time for Donegal to capture back-to-back McKenna Cups.

Tyrone didnt look the same team after O'Neill went off but still looked set to win till the late goal. A lot of positives from this McKenna Cup but that injury is a real blow and will overshadow it a bit for Tyrone.

A lot off Tyrones fringe players showed tonight they have a bit to do yet to become serious county players against opposition. Easy hammering St Marys and Cavan the two worst teams in McKenna cup. Gormley looked very sluggish while Hub was woeful. Cassidy and Penrose tried hard.

SON's injury broke up the momentum tyrone had at 0-11 to 0-7. however hughes had a glorious chance to put 5 in it soon after the restart but he kicked a very bad wide. it actually seemed harder to kick the wide. donegal then went down the field and got a point. curran's poor kickout for a donegal point also proved costly. thought brian mcguigan made no impact after coming on as a sub. need more leadership up front and there's obviously still a lot to work on - maybe not a bad thing heading into celtic park next week. anyway hope SON recovers soon.

Ah well. Last time we threw away a McKenna final we ended up ok

Sweet. Tyroneman rub it up you.

Good intensity in the game. Lots of fouling - ref seem poor in the last few minutes.

Do the two correlate Laoisgaa

I missed most of it but anything I tuned into I couldn't see MIchael Murphy. Was he playing? He definitely started IIRC but he didn't seem to be on after long.

Absolutely gutted for Stevie doesn't deserve this happening.

He played the whole game. He was quiet and wasn't on the ball a whole lot, partially due to the usual slowness of the Donegal attack (although he was back in the full back line at one point!). But that's ok... he'll be there when we need him in the summer!

Good enough game overall for the time of year, but some of the wides from both sides were awful! I thought it was very even all through, even when Tyrone went the four points up. They just happened to put a scoring run together while Donegal were hitting wides, which was then reversed later on.
