Tyrone dig it out but Mickey Harte raises concern

Tyrone 0-10 Cavan 0-8: A dour, defensive battle at Healy Park finally swung in Tyrone’s favour as they edged out Ulster neighbours Cavan to take the opening day points.

Neither goalkeeper had a save to make, with both sides swamping their defences with extra bodies and attempting to exploit the counter-attack.

In the second half, the Red Hands switched the point of attack, taking on the Breffni men from deep, with centre-back Rory Brennan emerging as a key figure going forward.
