Strength in depth pleases Cavanagh

Seán Cavanagh believes Tyrone is one of the few counties that can challenge Dublin’s strength in depth.

The All-Ireland champions are hot favourites to retain their crown, chiefly due to the vast resources of talent in their set-up.

But the Red Hand skipper insists his side will not be found wanting when extra manpower is required in times of need. Seasoned campaigners Justin McMahon, Conor Gormley and Stephen O’Neill were back in action to help them get over a preliminary round hurdle against Down at Páirc Esler at the weekend, and Cavanagh feels the squad is growing stronger week by week.
