Tyrone must up performances to reclaim Sam, warns McMenamin

RYAN McMENAMIN has warned that Tyrone will need to up their performances if they are to claim a third All-Ireland in five seasons come September.

Mickey Harte’s side have mixed the good, the bad and the average in their three championship appearances so far and Sunday’s defeat of Monaghan was typical of their campaign to date.

Superb in the first and third quarters, they were outplayed for much of the second and fourth by Monaghan and were fortunate to escape Clones with the title.
