Tyrone survived a Down comeback at Casement Park last night to book their place in the Ulster U21 Football Championship final.

ANOTHER defeat for Galway, then, but the visitors didn’t leave Newry last night without attempting to dispel the rumours of discontent that followed them to Ulster earlier in the day.

THERE were very mixed emotions around both dressing-rooms in the aftermath of an entertaining, dramatic stalemate which unfolded under the floodlights at a rain-soaked McHale Park, Castlebar on Saturday night.

A SECOND-HALF comeback from Antrim earned the Saffrons a deserved draw against Down at Casement Park in last night’s McKenna Cup Group C clash.
