Jordan: no excuses if we don’t win All-Ireland

TYRONE All Star Philip Jordan admits that the county will have “no excuses” should they fail to put back-to-back All-Ireland titles together this September.

Mickey Harte’s team are attempting to become the first Ulster county to achieve the feat since Down in 1961 and, unlike their quests in 2004 and 2006, they are operating with a full roster this time.

Armagh, Derry and Antrim have all been defeated with the minimum of fuss but Jordan is aware that Tyrone have been ambushed at this point of the season in the not-so-distant past.
