Tyrone U21s hope to lift the gloom

Tyrone’s U21 footballers carry a torch for others to follow, a guiding light that can lead them out of a tunnel of darkness.

The Red Hands’ involvement in today’s All-Ireland final has lifted a gloom that has hung over the county since the senior side suffered relegation from Division One of the Allianz Football League last month.

Spirits have been raised, not just among fans, but among members of Mickey Harte’s squad, who have rediscovered the joy of becoming a supporter once again.
