Tyrone eased into the Ulster Ladies Senior Football Championship final thanks to a 4-10 to 2-7 victory over Donegal in Lifford on Sunday.

Defeat for Donegal sees them exit the championship after they alsolost their round-robin opener against Armagh last weekend.

Donegal held an early lead before Tyrone took control and two goals from Chloe McCaffrey helped them move nine points in front.

Sorcha Gormely fired over three points for last year's All-Ireland Intermediate winners while Aoife Horisk and McCaffrey also split the posts.

Tyrone led 2-5 to 0-2 at the break and they made a blistering start to the second half to extend their advantage.

Slaine McCarroll added a third goal before the outstanding McCaffrey completed her hat-trick.

Donegal did manage a response with goals from Evelyn McGinley and Ciara McGarvey but it was a comfortable win for the Red Hands.

Tyrone and champions Armagh – with one win apiece in the three-team competition – are already assured of their place in the decider before what will be a dress rehearsal between the teams in next weekend's final round-robin game.
