Half-time: Donegal 0-2-2-5 Tyrone

James Daly’s side reduced the arrears in the third quarter, with Tara Hegarty finding the back of the net for the hosts in this period.

However, the Red Hand County hit back and two further majors courtesy of Slaine McCarroll and McCaffrey left them in a commanding position.

Ciara McGarvey added a goal late on for Donegal but the Tyrone secured the vital championship win.

This defeat marks the end of Donegal’s Ulster Championship campaign and they will now prepare for the upcoming All-Ireland Series.
