Spring is back in Tyrone step

THIS result represents a giant W in the victory column for Tyrone.

A third league win on the bounce, fears of relegation swapped for hopes of promotion and a rare taking of the spoils in Portlaoise.

Plenty of boxes ticked but there was so much more to take with them on the trip back home. Their economical score-taking after the break. Their support play and the manner in which they controlled the game couldn’t have but impressed onlookers in O’Moore Park.
