Munroe hails Red Hand courage

FAMILIAR tales of joy for Tyrone and heartbreak for Mayo in yesterday afternoon’s minor curtain- raiser in Croke Park.

Yesterday was not as dramatic a mugging but it was still an encounter where an improbable second-half Tyrone recovery altered the course of the game.
