Tyrone moving in the right direction

It’s hard not to be impressed by the way Tyrone are going about their business and while it can be foolhardy to be basing championship notions on league form, the displays being produced by Mickey Harte’s men can’t be ignored either.

Sean Cavanagh came through his first full game yesterday at Tuam Stadium and Stephen O’Neill was strong and full of running when introduced in the second-half. And Kyle Coney produced a string of points in the sort of performance which will be required if Tyrone are to make headway this summer.

The net result of it all was a fifth successive win and promotion to the top flight in the league, with not a single goal being conceded.
