GAME AT A GLANCE

-

MAN OF THE MATCH

Richie Donnelly (Tyrone) Such accolades are usually reserved for his brother Mattie, but the younger sibling really stepped up here, scoring 1-4 and giving a presence where Tyrone have felt a little bit inadequate in recent times.

TALKING POINT

Tyrone are clearly in better shape than they appeared earlier in the summer. To score 4-24, after reaching 3-20 against Cork last week, is no reflection of a team lacking ambition. They are right in the mix.

REF WATCH

David Gough kept the game flowing with regular advantages. He missed a few clear frees, but was on hand to penalise Niall Morgan’s fisted free which cost his team a point.
