No more Red Hand raids for Jordan and the half-back line

MOY, a small club on the outskirts of Dungannon, has given Tyrone many great servants down the years.

When Tyrone were last promising All-Ireland deliverance, it was Plunkett Donaghy who was driving them forward from midfield. These days another Moy man, Sean Cavanagh, does the same.

However, behind Cavanagh, a clubmate has been providing just as much stability for the past year or so. Philip Jordan is part of the Tyrone half-back line, who have seemed more under-stated than usual this year. After all, Red Hand wing-backs could regularly be seen raiding forward, nailing a few points and on special occasions, even a goal.
