Harte drops minor bombshell as McGee replaces Gourley

TYRONE manager Micky Harte dropped a minor bombshell last night when announcing his side to take on Laois in the final All-Ireland SFC qualifier at Croke Park on Sunday.

Harte revealed that defender Michael McGee will make his first championship start of the season in place of Ciaran Gourley in the left full-back position.

McGee played a number of games in the league, but Gourley took over the number four shirt for the championship and acquitted himself well up to now.
