Donegal players had ‘right of way’ in half-time bottleneck against Tyrone

Donegal had the half-time ‘right of way’ in Ballybofey, confirms the Ulster Council, who expect to hear from the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) about Sunday’s interval fracas.

Stephen Donnelly, the province’s fixtures secretary, described the scuffle that broke out between Donegal and Tyrone players and mentors as “disappointing”.

Donnelly confirmed, as per the match-day protocol, that Donegal were entitled to leave the field first. However, several of the Tyrone camp left the playing area at the same time as their opponents. Mickey Harte succeeded in convincing some of his players to stay back.
