Diarmuid Murtagh tags on another free for Roscommon, who are allowing Tyrone to have possession and then having a lot of joy turning them over and breaking quickly.

Tyrone have tried to respond to the Roscommon major with two of the three points since.

Ciaran Daly and Darragh Canavan both score their second points of the game for the Red Hands.

A flurry of scores now after an edgy opening.

Darragh Canavan with a trademark quality score.

It was the fourth point in three minutes after Ciaran Daly (Tyrone) as well as Niall Daly and Ciaran Lennon all pointed.

Tyrone defenders Padraig Hampsey and Michael McKernan raid forward with booming long-range scores with the aid of the strong wind; that after Diarmuid Murtagh's early free for the visitors.

Tyrone win the throw-in and we're up and running in Healy Park.

The home side have the wind in this first half.

A strong breeze is blowing straight down the pitch towards the Gortin Road end and after a dry day in Omagh, it started raining heavily 10 minutes ago.

Both teams are out warming up and the stand is starting to fill up, though the attendance is expected to be modest for this opening round fixture.

It might be round one, but this already has the feel of a relegation battle about it. Whoever loses, will be under immediate pressure to retain Division One status.

Down have begun their bid for promotion with a five-point win away to Wicklow, in a game where Pat Havern and Daniel Guinness were in fine form.

Although Conor Laverty's men were strong favourites going into the game, it was still up for grabs at half-time, as they led by just three.

However, Down came flying out of the traps in the second half and a 0-7 to 0-2 run essentially put the game to bed, despite a late flurry of scores from the hosts.

Down's victory makes it now seven wins and one draw out of eight games played for the Ulster teams so far this weekend.

Can Tyrone continue the unbeaten streak? Stay tuned to find out, as that game throws in shortly.

Wicklow have gone a mini scoring spree in the last few minutes, but it will probably be too little, too late for Oisin McConville's men.

Gearoid Murphy, Kevin Quinn and Brian Nesbitt have found the target for the hosts, with Rory Mason scoring Down's eighteenth of the game.

It's a whole new world for Tyrone who have six players making their first league starts today - Conall Devlin, Aidan Clarke, Tarlach Quinn, Ben Cullen, Seanie O'Donnell and Ciaran Daly.

With some familiar faces leaving since last season and Mattie Donnelly injured as well as being Darren McCurry suspended, it is a new-look Red Hands side that will take to the turf in a blustery Healy Park.

Roscommon have one league debutante, full-back Evan Flynn. They make one late change to the starting 15 with Daire Cregg replacing Declan Kenny at wing-forward. Star man Enda Smith is suspended and they are without their St Brigid's players who lost the All-Ireland club SFC final to Derry kingpins Glen a week ago.

Tyrone: N Morgan; C Devlin, P Hampsey, A Clarke; C Quinn, M McKernan, T Quinn; B Kennedy, C Kilpatrick; N Devlin, P Harte, B Cullen; S O’Donnell, D Canavan, C Daly

Roscommon: C Carroll; D Murphy, E Flynn, N Higgins; N Daly, C Walsh, E McCormack; K Doyle, D Ruane; C Connolly, D Smith, D Kenny; D Murtagh, C Lennon, C Cox

Life back in Division Two starts with an emphatic win for Jim McGuinness' Donegal.

They were streets ahead of Cork and were aided by a strong first-half wind dying down in the second stanza.

Patrick McBrearty was on fire with 1-6 but, the spread of scorers will please Jim as 13 different players registered white flags.

It's a vital two points against a side expected to be one of their promotions rivals even though it is only the opening weekend of the competition.

Pat Havern and Daniel Guinness have combined for nine of Down's points, as the latter adds to the visitors' ever-increasing lead.

Wicklow appear to be running out of steam, with just two points scored since the interval.

Down have been in their groove since the start of the second-half and have opened up their largest lead of the game - seven points.

Kevin Quinn scored for Wicklow, but Daniel Guinness and Liam Kerr have pointed to put Down into a comfortable lead.

Caolan McGonagle powers through and points for Donegal, Stephen Sherlock stops the rot at the other end for the visitors.

Pat Havern was Down's top scorer last year, and he has made a strong start to his 2024 campaign, notching his fifth point of the game to push his side's lead out further.

Bad news for Wicklow as their danger man Christopher O'Brien is forced off with an injury.

Rory Mason and Brian Nesbitt trade scores, leaving Down six ahead.

Patrick McBrearty lands another free, strangely he's taking the righted sided kicks off, of his left.

Whatever Conor Laverty said to his players at half-time has had the desired effect, as Down are fast out of the blocks to start the second period.

Points from Pierce Laverty and Pat Havern have restored their five-point advantage.

Chris Og Jones strikes over this time to cut the gap back down to five.

Patrick McBrearty settles things at the other end, nailing a close range free.
