Laois ready to test Tyrone mettle
Outstanding once again in the impressive win over Fermanagh in the weekend semi-final, Canavan rates the Mick O’Dwyer managed Laois ‘a bigger’ team than the holders. From O’Dwyer’s perspective, Laois will be taking on a team with considerably more experience than his own.
“From what I saw of their game with Armagh in the second half, Laois were physically strong and full of running,’’ said Canavan. “And, knowing Mick O’Dwyer, he would have done a fair bit of training with them over the winter to have them in such good physical shape. I think they are a bigger team than Tyrone, from what I have seen.’’
