Cavanagh: Louth visit ‘like going to Accrington Stanley’

TYRONE’S trip to the Gaelic Grounds in Drogheda will evoke memories of the old FA Cup ties where the giants of English football came a cropper in places like Yeovil and Hereford.

“Aye, it’s like going to Accrington Stanley,” admitted Sean Cavanagh. “We were down there last Thursday and it is like a poor Division Three club ground in Tyrone. The pitch is very narrow and bumpy. It’s not like playing in Croke Park. It is the same for both teams. You just have to get on with it. Louth probably think it will play to their advantage but we will have to use it to ours. That is what the qualifiers are all about, going to hard places like that and getting wins.”
