O’Neill inspires Tyrone as Donegal fall apart

Mickey Harte said Tyrone travelled to Ballybofey yesterday to enter the real world after the fantasy warm-up of the McKenna Cup (in which they have a final to play, incidentally). They may find the real world being a much harsher place than it was in Donegal.

Brian McEniff's team were generous hosts. They had the larger slice of possession in the first half, only for some terrible finishing to see them trail by two points at the interval, and then when they looked like they were finding a way back into the game, their defence disintegrated and allowed Tyrone space to score the crucial goal.
