Tyrone U16s in Ulster shield final

The Tyrone under 16s travelled to Burt to play Donegal in the Ulster shield championship round robin tie on Sunday afternoon.
The red hands were fresh from their thumping win against Monaghan the previous week. Donegal captain Roisin Toland won the toss and decided to have a strong breeze in their favour for the first half.
Donegal were on the back foot from early on as the visitors kept the scoreboard ticking over with a lot of fluent points being taken. The windy conditions however also added to the problems for both teams as a lot of efforts went wide. Rachel O’Neill for Tyrone bagged a couple of goals and a point and at half time it was Donegal 0-1 Tyrone 2-9
The second half was a little more competitive than the first and with the wind at the backs of the visitors were able to extend their lead. Both sides brought on their substitutions and Donegal came into the game as they scored a goal and five points in the half. It was an entertaining match and both teams will have to do it all again when they meet in the final of the Ulster Shield in a couple of weeks. Full Time Donegal 1-6 Tyrone 5-15
The county board would like to thank all the supporters for making the long journey to support the girls.
The girls will now play in the ‘Progress to Success’ All Ireland Blitz next Sunday in Killinkere Gaa Club Co Cavan.
