Down recovered from a nightmare start to secure
a draw against champions Tyrone in the Ulster
Championship quarter-final at Healy Park.
Goals from Colm McCullagh and Sean Cavanagh
had the favourites 2-3 to 0-2 ahead after
17 minutes.
Down hit back with a Benny Coulter goal took
the lead on 50 minutes through a goal by substitute
Ambrose Rodgers.
Tyrone regained the lead but Down levelled
with a Paul McComiskey free to force a replay
at Newry on 14 June.
In the end Down may feel they missed a chance
to dump the holders out of the Ulster.
Ross Carr's side made a nervous start and
found themselves seven points adrift after
17 minutes.
Martin Penrose was inches away from a goal
when his low shot trickled wide but in the
eighth minute McCullagh did find the net for
the Red Hands.
Penrose was involved in the build-up before
Brian McGuigan, playing his first Championship
match since the 2005 final, supplied the perfect
pass for McCullagh to go on and fire a left-foot
effort past keeper Brendan McVeigh.
Colm Cavanagh added a point before Ronan
Sexton landed Down's opening score after 11
minutes.
McCullagh's left foot converted two points
from play for Tyrone with Dan Gordon added
one for the Mournemen.
But Down, who conceded 10 goals in their
National League Division three campaign, were
picking the ball out of their net again in
the 17th minute.
Penrose flicked through to Sean Cavanagh
who cut in from wide on the right to beat
McVeigh.

second goal
It could have been all over for Down as Penrose
was denied by a McVeigh save and Kevin Hughes
saw his effort crash off the crossbar.
There were points for Tyrone's Colm Cavanagh
and Liam Doyle of Down before the Mournemen
had a Gordon goal disallowed.
Down's John Clarke hit the bar when he should
have scored but the Mourne county did grab
a goal just before half-time when Coulter's
shot went in off defender Justin McMahon.
That left it 2-4 to 1-3 for Tyrone at the
interval with Down getting the first point
of the second half through another Doyle free.
Penrose fisted over a badly-needed point
for Tyrone but Down responded with points
from Gordon and Paul Murphy.
After Tyrone's early dominance, the contest
was really alive now and, sensationally, Down
went into the lead in the 50th minute when
substitute Rodgers scored from a Coulter pass.
Sean Cavanagh pointed to level the game and
then Rodgers and Brian Dooher exchanged scores
in what was now a thrilling ding-dong battle.
Kevin Hughes scored a good point on the turn
but in the last minute of normal time substitute
McComiskey kept his head to convert a free.
