Small in stature, big in heart - Tyrone's Mark Bradley is ready to stretch Donegal's defence

Ulster SFC semi-final: Tyrone v Donegal, 2pm ... Standing at 5’ 6”, Mark Bradley doesn’t expect to win the battle of the skies, but he does believe he can stretch the Donegal defence with his pace and speed of thought in tomorrow’s high-stakes Ulster SFC semi-final.

A clever playmaker and accurate finisher, the Tyrone attacker will seek to combine both roles, along with his share of covering back in what is widely expected to be a dour, defensive contest played out on the Clones chess board.

Bradley accepts that he’ll have to hold his own in a hostile, physical environment, but he has no fear that his size will inhibit his effectiveness.
