Tyrone 0-08
Ruairi Canavan proved to be the difference between the sides as Tyrone downed Donegal by a point in the Minor Championship in MacCumhaill Park on Sunday.
Collie Holmes’s team only had three weeks of collective training to get ready for the match and they found themselves in a tough attritional battle where every ball was fought for.

Donegal – under the guidance of Luke Barrett – led by two points at the start of the second half.
However, Tyrone came back and Canavan sprinkled his gold dust on the match to put his side in charge heading down the home straight.

The Red Hands men could afford to hit 13 wides, but they had Ruairi Canavan in their ranks and although he accounted for a good number of those wides, he was still the match winner.
In the end Canavan was the difference between the sides. He looks like a real chip of the old block and was dangerous off either foot. The Tyrone side were strong around midfield with Conor Colton very good in the air.
