Tyrone on track to bring form book back

SO much for the Dublin/Kerry All-Ireland football final the romantics were hoping for.

Paul Caffrey said after the Dubs’ comprehensive defeat by Tyrone that it had been a ‘crazy year’ and it’s not hard to imagine how he and his players will feel when they see Wexford run on to Croke Park tomorrow and think back to the hammering they gave them in the Leinster decider.

Wexford lost that game by 23 points and Tyrone beat Dublin by a margin of 12 points. Theoretically, that would put the northerners in the driving seat, and, understandably, they are the popular favourites. However, it would be very misleading to draw the obvious conclusion from how each of them fared against Dublin.
