The Democrat described Donegal as being ‘lacklustre’ when they defeated Tyrone in Omagh to land their sixth McKenna Cup.

Donegal posted nine first-half wides and Tyrone saw Kevin McCabe rated the lead for a 1-4 to 0-3 lead at the break, while Gary Walsh saved superbly on the stroke of half-time from Sean McNally.

Donegal turned the tables to win in the second half.
