Tyrone pair ruled out of Ulster opener

Joe McMahon and Ronan McNamee have been ruled out of Tyrone’s Ulster SFC opener against Down on Sunday week.

It was confirmed last night that neither full-back McNamee nor the versatile McMahon will feature against the Mourne men.

McMahon has not played for the Red Hands this season, having missed the entire league campaign due to a groin problem. His efforts to make a comeback with his club were set back when he picked up a calf injury.
