Tyrone to fulfil McKenna fixture

TYRONE’S Dr McKenna Cup clash with Fermanagh is set to go ahead next Sunday at Brewster Park in Enniskillen after grieving Tyrone boss Mickey Harte gave his blessing for the match to take place.

Tyrone county board officials last night confirmed that the team will fulfil the fixture which will be played just days after the tragic death of Harte’s daughter Michaela, who was murdered while on honeymoon in Mauritius.

However the game will not be held should Michaela’s body arrive home in the interim from Mauritius and there is the potential for the game clashing with funeral arrangements.
