Free-scoring Red Hands get off to impressive start

Tyrone got off to a flying start in the Allianz HL Division 3A with a 3-18 to 2-9 win over Sligo at Healy Park in Omagh yesterday.

The Red Hands were in a comfortable position at the break, leading 2-11 to 0-5 with Sean Óg Grogan and Shea McKeever scoring goals. Sligo came into it in the second half with Keith Raymond and Damien Burke finding the net but Rory O’Neill’s goal sealed the home win.

Ray Durack’s spell in charge of the Donegal hurlers got off to a poor start when his side relinquished an early six-point advantage against Monaghan in Clones to go down 1-18 to 1-11.
