PADDY HEANEY: Don’t write off Tyrone’s young guns just yet

If you asked 100 Tyrone supporters to name their first choice team for this year’s championship match against Donegal, you’re likely to get 100 very different answers back.

In contrast, if the same question was put to 100 Donegal supporters, there would be minimal variation between the responses. No doubt, the vast majority would list the side that beat Mayo in last year’s All-Ireland final as their chosen 15. When the neighbours renew acquaintances in the first round of the Ulster SFC on May 26, these contrasting situations will become obvious.

Barring injury and misfortune, Donegal should be largely unchanged from last season. Tyrone, however, will be totally overhauled.
