Revenge over Rebels would be sweet, says Mulligan

MICKEY HARTE’S struggling Tyrone side will not be lacking for motivation when they meet Cork in round four of the Allianz NFL in Omagh next weekend, according to Owen Mulligan.

The Munster champions had five points to spare the last time the sides met in the 2009 All-Ireland semi-final, but it was a scoreline that didn’t come close to reflecting their dominance that day.

Daniel Goulding’s eighth-minute goal was the launchpad for Cork’s success back in August and even the dismissal of Alan O’Connor five minutes before the break failed to knock Conor Counihan’s side from their stride.
