Donegal 0-19 Tyrone 0-25
A weakened Donegal side battled well against Tyrone in O’Donnell Park today but were defeated by the Red Hand county.
Donegal made 11 changes to their starting team from the side that defeated Derry two weeks ago, and players who had been on the fringes in the early part of the league were given a chance to impress.
Darragh Canavan (Tyrone) and Jamie Brennan (Donegal) were sharp for their respective teams early on and the sides were level after 22 minutes.
However, Tyrone lifted it in the second quarter and were able to push ahead.
