Fr McAleer banks on sheer skill to topple champions

FR GERARD McALEER has had a long love affair with Tyrone football.

For over a decade, he and Mickey Harte have worked tirelessly to shape and mould a side capable of winning an All-Ireland SFC title.

They have seen their charges grow up as footballers and as individuals. They have looked on with pride at the way they have developed their talents. And now they hope to stamp their place in history.
