Tyrone and Armagh ease to Dr. McKenna Cup wins

There were five games up for decision in Ulster today.

TYRONE REMAIN ON course for a fourth successive Dr. McKenna Cup title after a facile win over St. Mary’s at Healy Park this afternoon.

Patrick Quinn scored the only goal of the game in the second half as the Red Hands recorded a 1-12 to 0-3 victory to make it two wins from two in this year’s competition.

Conditions in the Omagh venue were far from ideal however:
