GL Dr McKenna Cup Round-Up

Gaelic Life Dr McKenna Cup Section B Round 3
Tyrone 1-18  Monaghan 0-17

Sean Cavanagh and Stephen O’Neill helped themselves to 7 points each as Tyrone beat Monaghan 1-18 to 0-17 in an entertaining tussle at Healy Park Omagh on Sunday.

The win however was not enough to see Tyrone through to the Semi Finals and Monaghan also suffered the same fate.

Thomas Freeman was in clinical form for Monaghan and finished with a personal tally of 10 points, but the decisive score of the game came from midfielder Enda McGinley in the 22^nd minute as he powered through to drive a low left-foot shot into the Monaghan net.

Gaelic Life Dr McKenna Cup Section A Round 3
Derry 0-13  Donegal 0-13

In what was essentially a dead-rubber game in Dungiven on Sunday, Derry needed 2 late points from Bellaghy corner forward Eoghan Brown to clinch a draw with Donegal.

Donegal had already previously qualified for the Semi-Final stage following earlier wins over UUJ and Fermanagh; Derry’s previous draw against Fermanagh and defeat to UUj meant that they were unable to make the latter stages of the competition.

Gaelic Life Dr McKenna Cup Section C Round 3
Cavan 1-7  Armagh 0-9

On Saturday night, under the floodlights of Kingspan Breffni Park, Cavan stole victory at the death via a 72^nd minute long range point from Nicholas Walsh.

Ronan Clarke top scored for Armagh with 0-5, while Gerald Pierson grabbed the Cavan goal.

The victory for Cavan was somewhat in vein as Queens topped Section C, and Armagh joined them in the Semi-Finals as best runners-up.
