76 not out for Tyrone colossus Sean Cavanagh

Tipperary 0-7 Tyrone 0-19: A landmark afternoon for Tyrone football’s favourite son. Sean Cavanagh was the final player to disappear underneath the Kinane Stand shortly after 5pm on Saturday, a number of visiting and, indeed, home supporters requesting a picture on what was a historic outing for the 32-year old.

Cavanagh’s involvement inside the Thurles whitewash brought to 76 the number of championship appearances he has made for the Red Hand County, a new Tyrone record.

Thirteen summers on, he can still vividly recallhis championship debut.
