Tyrone 1-9
Donegal 1-3

Donegal were left to count the cost of kicking 19 wides after they lost out to defending champions Tyrone in the Ulster MFC at Ballybofey.

Darach O'Connor gave the hosts the lead but the Red Hand youngsters soon took control of the game.

A fortuitous 15th minute goal by Ronan Nugent sent them on the road to victory.

O'Connor found the back of the Tyrone net six minutes into the second half but with McKenna, Padraig McGirr and substitute Che O'Donnell raising white flags, Tyrone pushed on to secure the spoils.
