Fit O’Neill huge Tyrone boost
It’s unlikely the former Footballer of the Year will start Tyrone’s Ulster Championship opener on Sunday fortnight, but he desperately wants to see action at some stage.
The three-time All-Ireland winner has not played for the Red Hands since last year’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Mayo, and only made his comeback for his club last weekend. Successful surgery for Achilles Tendinopathy was followed by a painstaking rehab process, but last Sunday, the 33-year-old resumed his playing career, coming off the bench to help Clann nan Gael to a Division Three League win over Aghaloo.
