McGuigan’s the man

Senior Football Tyrone 2-15 Dublin 2-05

Tyrone used a splendid performance by Shane McGuigan to easily account for Dublin. McGuigan kicked 8 wonderful points from frees and play to give the side a bonefide superstar. The apple doesn’t all far from the tree, however, as Frank is his father. Dublin scored first but could only add two further points in the opening half while Tyrone kicked 1-05 with Adam Fitzgerald fisting in after a six player excellent move. Dublin did have a clear-cut goal chance in the first half but Damien Corrigan stopped a shot by Mickey Henderson. Tyrone added to their lead as the second half opened with 1-04 against a point for Dublin. Morgan had the goal after a perfect pass from Farrell gave him the easy task. Dublin did have resurgence when Naill Coughlin had a brace of goals in the 14th and 17th minutes but the same player crashed a penalty against the crossbar when they could have made the last five very interesting. As it was Tyrone kicked six of the last seven points with man of the match McGuigan getting three for the comfortable win.
