Red Hands ‘must keep improving’ to retain Sam Maguire

TYRONE are under no illusions about the task required to retain their All-Ireland SFC title.

The improvement curve must continue on its upward journey if Sam Maguire is to maintain residency in the Red Hand community, according to assistant manager Fr Gerard McAleer.

McAleer, who has worked with Mickey Harte since minor ranks, conceded that the champions were fortunate on Saturday against Galway.
