Harte aims to carry on winning

WHILE quite a few managers will be hoping for All-Ireland glory at the end of this season, what distinguishes Mickey Harte is the conviction that he has the best chance.

He says that if everything comes right for the champions — if they avoid injuries (or suspensions) and expand their panel — Tyrone will “be useful”.

That’s not just false modesty. It’s about being realistic, knowing that in this game, just as much as in the generality of sport, nothing is certain.
