Tyrone's Michael McKernan: Darragh Canavan can handle expectation

Tyrone defender Michael McKernan has described Darragh Canavan as “unbelievable” and believes he is mentally prepared for the inevitable comparisons with his illustrious father Peter.

Canavan, 19 this year, is currently a member of Mickey Harte’s senior side and may follow the example of David Clifford and Seán O’Shea in bypassing the U20 grade to line out for the seniors this year. He most recently came off the bench to score a point against Derry on Sunday.
