Tyrone make right moves in chess bore

MICKEY HARTE compared this Ulster semi-final to a chess match, but the longest game in that sedentary sport’s history was a sleep-inducing 20-hour marathon that would knock spots off this tie in terms of excitement.

This wasn’t puke football, it was snooze football.

Tyrone versus Derry has all the essential ingredients for a rip-roaring game. They hate each other, they are two of the country’s best sides and they have met more than once every two years since 1991.
